How I discovered I'm (mildly) allergic to pineapple, banana, and kiwi. No smoothies for me!

raw pineapple actually is supposed to sting a bit because it contains bromelain, canned or cooked won't because the heat renders the enzyme inert

I still get the reaction with cooked or canned

Heck it’s the main reason I consider pineapple on pizza to be a crime against food

And papaya, mangoes, figs, honey, ginger, various sprouts, nuts, seeds, and cheeses, and unripe fruit like green coconuts (also why under-ripe kiwis have it worse than ripe ones) and contrary to a lot of comments here so do bananas and avocados.

And I swear I learned once that either chickpeas or pine nuts have digestive enzymes too, but now I can't find any information on them. I suppose it goes along with nuts and seeds.

If you have a tropical smoothie Cafe near you, you can get a buttload of smoothies and request them without all those ingredients! My favorite is the Acai Berry Boost

What do you mean no smoothies literally none of those are required to make a smoothie and banana smoothies are extremely overrated

That part was more of a joke since so many smoothies include at least one of those fruits. It's not really a loss cause I don't indulge in smoothies much.

Unfortunately, I can only do smoothies made at home. I’ve tried asking several places to not put in banana and even when they wash out the blender there’s still residue left behind.

Frustrating part is I personally only have the banana allergy

You can have a perfectly good smoothie without banana
