Canned Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie Great For Upset Stomach

bubblebathselfempowerment

Yesterday I had an upset stomach. I’ve been taking supplements that I don’t normally take and I think that is what’s doing it along with some stress. It was odd – my stomach was churning but I was hungry. I didn’t want to eat something that would upset it more.

Then I remembered that the day before I had drained a can of sliced pears and froze the slices for an upcoming smoothie. A yogurt based smoothie would be the perfect thing to soothe my upset stomach, and it did.

I had never thought of using canned fruit in a smoothie for some reason, but I have quite a few cans of fruit that I want to use up to create some pantry space and save a trip to the grocery store.

I do not have a blender, but do have a food processor. I took the frozen pears out and let them sit on the counter 5-10 minutes so they would blend easier. Then I added them to the food processor bowl along with some plain yogurt (I’d estimate it was around 1 cup), a few tablespoons of honey, some of the drained light syrup from the can (I saved it in the fridge) and cinnamon (which is supposed to be good for nausea). Processed it all until smooth. It was SO good and I could feel my stomach start to settle right away.

I’ll be having another one today but will use frozen canned peach slices.

Would love to hear your thoughts, similar recipes, other stomach ache remedies! Please comment below 🙂

They’d make great gifts to yourself or someone you love and would help support my dream of becoming a full-time writer and artist. Any purchase would be SO appreciated, but if you don’t want to or can’t, that’s totally fine. Just stopping by and reading my blog is a huge support.

The pandemic brought a lot of awareness to me about climate change, food shortages, how quickly our hospitals could colapse and more. This has sent me on a mission of becoming self-sustainable, empowered and working to help heal the earth. That is what the focus of this blog has become. The main way I'm working at this is through building a food forest and documenting as much as possible in hopes to inspire others. The more of us that do this, the more it will help heal the earth. When we buy produce from the grocery store, it was grown through monoculture, and that leads to use of chemicals that goes onto our food and into our planet, destroying soil. If we grow our own through permaculture (a food forest), we give the soil health. We also give ourselves health by growing organic foods and herbs that contribute to our health. There's a lot more to this, but this touches the surface. I'm only one year into this but my food forest is growing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

  3. Sounds delicious ! I recommend water (hot or cold) with a little lemon juice (or slice of lemon). I have been told drinking water this way throughout your day makes a tummy purr and be happy.

  6. Sounds good! 🍐 I had never thought of making smoothies with canned fruit. (My parents used to make me eat Saltines 🍪 when I had an upset stomach, which helped, but this sounds a lot better! )

    1. I had never thought of making smoothies with canned fruit either, but now it will be my favorite use. My parents made me eat Saltines too, and I believe they work, but I did not have any. Yogurt has the probiotics that are supposed to be good for gut health, and it was very soothing.
