When you have celiac disease, finding a drink that's protein-rich, easy to digest, gluten-free, and made with clean ingredients can be a real puzzle. Many store-bought drinks are loaded with sugar, packed with additives, or contain dairy that's hard to tolerate. Good news: you can make something far more nutritious, "cleaner," and perfectly suited to your digestive system right at home.
Today I'm sharing two variations:
✔️ A classic version, rich in skyr, Greek yogurt, or fromage blanc (your choice).
✔️ A lactose-free, 100% plant-based version that's still packed with protein.
Both come together in 2 minutes, with no fancy equipment required.
This version is ideal if you digest dairy well and are looking for a creamy, filling drink that's naturally rich in protein.
150g skyr, Greek yogurt, or fromage blanc (your choice)
150 to 200ml milk (cow's, almond, soy, or coconut)
1 tbsp almond butter, peanut butter, or tahini
½ banana or 4 dates
1 tsp raw cacao (optional)
1 pinch of cinnamon
Add all the ingredients to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Add a splash more milk if you'd like a thinner texture.
20 to 30g of protein, depending on the yogurt you choose
Low glycemic index
A great post-workout drink, or a quick, nutritious breakfast
Gluten-free if you choose a certified plant-based milk
Very filling (helps prevent cravings)
Supports muscle recovery and helps maintain steady energy levels
Smooth texture, easy to digest even with gut sensitivity
Perfect if you're lactose intolerant, or if you'd simply rather skip dairy altogether. It's still very high in protein, creamy, and above all, extremely easy to digest.
30g gluten-free plant-based protein (pea, rice, or hemp)
200ml unsweetened plant-based milk (ideally soy, which is highest in protein)
1 tbsp almond butter or tahini
½ banana or 3–4 dates (optional)
1 tsp chia seeds (protein boost)
1 tbsp raw cacao or maca (optional)
Pour the plant-based milk into your blender.
Add the protein powder, almond butter, and banana.
Blend for 30 seconds.
Done!
28 to 32g of protein, depending on the protein powder used
Very well tolerated
Ideal for sensitive or inflamed guts
0 lactose
0 gluten
Very easy to digest
Supports the gut microbiome and digestive comfort
Absorbed easily even during periods of digestive fatigue
