Sippable Bone-Broth Protein Cup
A warm, savory bone-broth smoothie designed for GLP-1 users with nausea, this sippable cup is mild in smell, low in fat, and easy to digest. Beef bone broth and red lentils provide around 20 g protein per serving in a small, comforting portion that won’t overwhelm a sensitive stomach.
Ingredients
- 500 ml low-sodium beef bone broth — room temperature or warm, not boiling
- 160 g cooked red lentils — well-cooked, soft, drained
- 80 g cooked quinoa — plain, cooled slightly
- 6 g fresh ginger — peeled and very finely sliced or minced
- 18 g white miso paste — loosely packed
- 5 g extra-virgin olive oil — none optional
Instructions
- If not already prepared, cook red lentils in plenty of water until very soft (about 10–12 minutes), then drain well and let cool slightly; cook quinoa according to package directions without added fat or strong seasonings, then let cool slightly.
- Warm the beef bone broth gently in a small pot over low heat until just steaming but not boiling; this keeps the aroma mild and protects the miso flavor.
- In a blender, combine the warm bone broth, cooked red lentils, cooked quinoa, fresh ginger, white miso paste, and the olive oil if using.
- Blend on low, then increase to high until completely smooth and creamy, 45–60 seconds; if the mixture is too thick for sipping, add 50–100 ml hot water or additional warm broth and blend again.
- Taste and adjust: if the ginger feels too strong for your nausea, dilute with a little more broth or water; keep seasoning very light to avoid triggering symptoms.
- Pour into small cups or mugs and sip slowly while warm, pausing if you feel full or queasy; avoid drinking it very hot, as extreme temperatures can worsen nausea.
Tips for GLP-1 users
For GLP-1–related nausea, start with just a few small sips at a time; the warm, savory profile and gentle ginger can soothe the stomach while bone broth, lentils, and quinoa deliver concentrated protein and nutrients in a small volume.
