This pear banana smoothie is made with eczema-friendly ingredients. My son would get eczema flare-ups every once in a while. After reading The Eczema Diet book by Karen Fischer, I learned that there are some foods that are safe for eczema sufferers to eat. I chose the ingredients for this smoothie with this in mind.
What do you need to make this Pear Banana Smoothie?
- Coconut kefir/yogurt is rich in probiotics needed for gut health.
- Flax seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Romaine lettuce is a good source of vitamin A and vitamin K.
- Banana is an alkalizing fruit high in potassium and fibre.
- Pear is an eczema-friendly fruit, but it has to be peeled.
Blend it all up!
Place all the ingredients in your blender, and blend until smooth!
I used my Vitamix (like this one) and there's no need to pre-grind the flax seeds, it just goes in with everything else.
