Résumé rapide
Let’s be completely honest: Boost Juice is not suitable for FODMAP dieters. Almost every smoothie contains high-fructose fruits, apple juice, or other FODMAP triggers.
Best bet: Water, or skip Boost entirely
Reality: There are essentially Sans safe smoothie options
Why Boost Doesn’t Work for FODMAP
Boost Juice smoothies typically contain:
High Fructose Fruits
- Apple juice - Used as a base in many drinks
- Mango - Very high fructose
- Watermelon - High FODMAP
- Pear - High polyols
Large Fruit Portions
Even FODMAP-friendly fruits become problematic in smoothie-sized portions. A smoothie might contain 2-3 servings of fruit, pushing even “safe” fruits into high FODMAP territory.
Added Sugars
- Honey (high fructose)
- Agave (high fructose)
- Fruit juice concentrates
The Fruit Problem
| Fruit | FODMAP Status | In Boost Smoothies |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | ❌ High fructose | Common base juice |
| Mango | ❌ High fructose | Very common |
| Watermelon | ❌ High FODMAP | Summer drinks |
| Pear | ❌ High polyols | Some drinks |
| Banana | ⚠️ Ripe = high | Common ingredient |
| Berries | ✅ Small amounts | But portions too large |
| Orange | ✅ Moderate | But with other fruits |
Could You Customize?
Theoretically, you might Demander:
- Small portion
- Only low FODMAP fruits
- Sans apple juice base
In practice: This is very difficult at Boost because:
- Recipes are pre-set
- Staff aren’t trained for this level of customization
- The base often includes apple juice automatically
- You’d need to specify everything from scratch
What About Protein Additions?
Boost offers protein balls and additions, but check:
- Dates (high fructose) ❌
- Honey (high fructose) ❌
- Dried fruits (concentrated sugars) ❌
Most protein snacks at Boost contain dates or other high FODMAP ingredients.
The Honest Recommendation
Don’t go to Boost Juice if you’re following FODMAP.
This isn’t being negative - it’s being practical. Boost’s entire concept (fruit smoothies) is fundamentally incompatible with low FODMAP eating.
