I like to mix pureed fruit with vanilla soy dream (ice cream substitute) to make it creamier. In addition to the fruit smoothies listed on the IBS recipe index, check out the pumpkin smoothies. They're delicious! Pureed pumpkin is a good source of fiber and a lot of vitamins and minerals.
Other ideas:
Sliced banana + can of pineapple tidbits.
Jarred, refrigerated mangoes and other fruit slices in the salad aisle of most grocery stores. I like this option because the fruit is mushy and I'm not good about eating fruit when I buy it fresh.
During bad IBS episodes, I buy baby food. Gerber's Peach Cobbler is my favorite.
If you don't feel like making your own smoothie, I highly recommend Jamba Juice's Protein Berry Pizazz (the smallest size 16 oz): it's dairy-free (uses soy milk), contains soy protein powder, bananas, strawberries. I have never had a problem with this, but I don't usually have problems with soy. If you do a search on Jamba Juice, you'll find other people who drink them and what flavors they've found to be safe.
HTH.
