Low Histamine Smoothie Bowl

Low

It can be difficult sometimes to come up with new breakfast ideas when on a low histamine diet.  Yogurt can be a problem for some people, and spinach or strawberries in a smoothie are sure to make my sinuses start to drain.

Here is a recipe for a smoothie bowl that I like as quick breakfast.  Somehow making the smoothie a little thicker and eating it with toppings makes it more satisfying – at least to me!

Take this ‘recipe’ just as inspiration and adjust it to fit the fruits and veggies that work best for you.  Cherries may bother some people on a low histamine diet.  They do contain quercetin, though, which is supposed to help prevent histamine release.

 


Low Histamine Smoothie Bowl Recipe

  • Mango

  • Blackberries
  • Carrots (optional)

Blend everything together in a good blender until the consistency of apple sauce.

Topping ideas:

  • blackberries or chopped mango
