Monash FODMAP Team - Research Dietitian, 04 October 2016

Breakfast

  • Serve your hot breakfast on the weekend with wilted spinach and grilled tomatoes
  • Make vegetable fritters using corn, grated sweet potato and/or grated zucchini
  • Try making scrambled tofu on toast
  • Add capsicum, green tips of spring onion, zucchini, spinach and/or tomato to your favourite scrambled egg / omelette recipe
  • Try making a low FODMAP green smoothie 

Snacks

  • Snack on sticks of raw carrot and capsicum
  • Make a batch of mini vegetable quiches and freeze extras for healthy snacks on the go. 

Lunch

  • Cook a low FODMAP vegetable or minestrone soup and freeze portions for mid-week lunches. Check out our app for low FODMAP recipes
  • Make a roasted vegetable salad using sweet potato, capsicum, Japanese / kabocha / kent pumpkin, parsnip and zucchini and dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
  • Make a cheese and salad sandwich full of low FODMAP vegetables. You’ll need low FODMAP bread (e.g. sourdough spelt), cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, grated carrot, lettuce and grainy mustard.
  • If you’re having a barbeque, be sure to add some vegetables to the hot plate by making meat and vegetable kebabs or roasting corn and capsicum

Dinner

  • Add grated zucchini, grated carrot and spinach leaves to your favourite bolognese recipe
  • Have a meat-free night once a week at home. Many of your favourite casserole / curry / stir fry recipes will be just as nice with legumes or tofu substituted for meat. Low FODMAP meat alternatives include firm tofu, canned chickpeas and canned lentils.
  • Make a low FODMAP pizza using a gluten free wrap for the base, tomato paste, semi-dried tomatoes, olives, red and green capsicum, pineapple, roasted Japanese / kabocha / kent pumpkin and ham.
  • Add a layer of roasted Japanese / kabocha / kent pumpkin or spinach and ricotta to your favourite lasagne recipe
  • Try this vegan coconut & pumpkin curry with roasted chickpeas
