Best fruits to eat on GLP-1's: light, hydrating, and easy to digest

Fruit can be an excellent part of a balanced diet while using GLP-1 medication such as Mounjaro or Wegovy, but not all fruits feel the same once your appetite and digestion start to change. Some are gentle, hydrating, and easy to tolerate, while others can cause bloating or discomfort if eaten in large amounts.

This article highlights the best fruits for GLP-1 users, how to include them comfortably, and when to adjust portion size or preparation for better digestion.

GLP-1 receptor agonists slow digestion and increase fullness. While fruit provides essential fibre, vitamins, and hydration, large portions or very fibrous options can cause bloating or reflux.

Including the right kinds of fruit helps you:

• Maintain hydration when overall food intake is lower
• Support digestion and bowel regularity
• Replace heavier snacks with lighter, nutrient-rich options
• Add natural sweetness without discomfort

Choose gentle, hydrating fruits

Soft, water-rich fruits are easiest to digest on GLP-1s. Examples include:

• Bananas
• Melon
• Stewed or tinned peaches
• Ripe pears
• Apples (peeled or stewed)
• Berries (in small portions)
• Kiwi fruit

These provide hydration and fibre without being too heavy.

Eat fruit slowly and in small servings

A handful of fruit or one piece is often enough. Large fruit bowls or smoothies with multiple servings may feel too filling.

Pair fruit with protein or healthy fats

Combining fruit with yoghurt, cottage cheese, or nut butter helps stabilise blood sugar and keep you full for longer. See Healthy Snacks on GLP-1s.

Adjust texture if needed

If raw fruit feels uncomfortable, try stewed or blended versions. Soft textures are easier to digest and gentle on the stomach.

• Breakfast: Porridge with stewed apple or mashed banana
• Snack: Greek yoghurt with soft berries
• Lunch: Cottage cheese with sliced pear
• Evening: Melon cubes or a small banana for hydration
