I recently talked to a woman about smoothies. She whizzes up spinich, strawberries, blueberries and some Stevia for sweetening. Haven't tried it since I don't own a blender. But my daughter makes some different kinds for her family. I have a file saved with recipes. Will try to paste it here.

Sounds delicious, but i would be careful with many fruits :/ orange juice is for example poison for gastritis

Mine is:

-Half a scoop raw meal
-coconut water
-big scoop of fat free Greek yogurt
-1 ripe banana
-5 strawberries
-dozen raspberries

Yep... those recipes came from Prevention Magazine. So they were not written specifically for gastritis. Just a variety.

I make them with a little milk, generous scoop of yoghurt, raspberries, bananas, cinnamon, cocoa, almond butter. Yum!

I notice you are on the GERD site and have reflux.. Many of the items in the smoothie are terrible for GERD/reflux.. They may be good for gastritis but are terrible for heartburn etc.. the only fruits that are good for GERD are papayas and some people can eat bananas and certain apples.. There is a ton of stuff you have to stop eating to eliminate reflux.. Check the gerd site.. there is a lot of info on diet and most of it applies to gastritis as well

Mine is blueberries, avocado a teaspon of chia seeds (omega 3) almond cocunut milk and a teaspon of extra virgin Siberian pine nut oil (good for gastritis).

I don't know how all of you survive with your smoothies, they would give me a flare-up immediately. Cocoa, lemon juice, orange, ginger, cinnamon, acidic fruits, dairy, ... oh my!

My recipes:
- silken tofu + bananas
- bananas + papaya + ice

Hi, I don't have a smoothie recipe, but I just read something interesting - flaxseed tea. You put 2-3 teaspoons of whole flaxseed in a pot and cook for a bit over low heat, cool, drain, and drink before breakfast and after dinner. Apparently, this is very soothing for gastritis.

I found this advice on a Polish gastritis article, and never heard of it before. Who knows, worth a try!

Yes,flaxseed tea which is more like jello is very soothing for gastritis.If you cant tolerate the seeds in it you simply drain the tea and drink the jello part w/o the flaxseeds only.Its easier on the inflamed stomach that way.I am Polish and I can attest:)

I drink flaxseed tea as well, but I just buy the bagged version, put a couple in hot water and let it sit then put in the refrigerator. Very helpful during a flare.

Re: smoothies, my favorite is coconut milk, a couple tbls of the filling mix from Jello no bake cheesecake mix, 2 scoops of unflavored protein powder and 2 frozen strawberries. Strawberry cheesecake smoothie :)
