There are many smoothies I like to drink, but not all of them are friendly to my sensitive stomach. Many of them cause a flare-up of body aches, headaches, and stomach issues. To drink the smoothies I like but keep them from harming my body, I created some of my own fibro-friendly beverages. Here’s the inflammatory-busting smoothie that I hope you enjoy!
Inflammatory Busting Smoothie
Inflammation is one of the significant symptoms of fibromyalgia. It affects the joints, gut, and brain, to name a few. Various berries and other foods help combat inflammation, so here’s a smoothie packed with a few. This inflammatory-fighting smoothie is a powerhouse of inflammatory-fighting properties, using pineapple, strawberries, and bananas as the main ingredients. To keep it fibro-friendly, it’s dairy-free, using pineapple juice as the main liquid.

Hi Brandi,
I made your recipe of smoothie this morning but replacing the pineapple juice with Low Fatt milk n a scoop of Greek yoghurt. The taste was too good n I named it Strawberry Tango.
Thank you!
Woohoo!! Greek yogurt is loaded with good protein and that’s important for our fibro bodies. Pineapple juice is so tasty!! I could put it in just about anything!
I have been wondering if i have fibromyalgia. I have osteoarthritis and was to go on a AIP diet . Would these smoothies be a way to go
