A festive, delicious and easy recipe for low-FODMAP Strawberry ‘Margarita’ Smoothies. Tastes great with OR without alcohol! As tequila and rum are both high FODMAP, I opt for vodka in this recipe, but you can also try gin or bourbon (OK, so technically its not a margarita, but close enough for me!)
Remember to enjoy alcohol in moderation. Although this recipe is low-FODMAP, alcohol is a gut-irritant, so sip slowly.
