Kefir Berry Smoothie

Whipped feta dips have taken the internet by storm for good reason - and you don’t have to miss out if you’re following the low FODMAP diet! When tested, feta only showed trace amounts of FODMAPs making it the perfect base for a creamy, scoopable summer dip recipe (come rain or shine!) If you are able to tolerate lactose well you can sub in regular cream cheese and yogurt here and don’t be put off by the honey - the amount listed is well within recommended limits and adds just a hint of sweetness to the tangy feta.

Inspired by Parkin, a syrupy ginger cake traditionally had on Bonfire night in the North of England, this bundt cake is a no less delicious gluten-free and lower FODMAP alternative. Instead of higher FODMAP golden syrup and treacle, I’ve used the sweet syrup from a stem ginger jar to get that unctuous texture, along with ground walnuts, dark brown sugar and olive oil.

To ensure maximum ginger flavour there are four! types of ginger - stem, ground, fresh and crystallised - while cinnamon and garam masala give the cake warmth and a little extra spice.

I love serving this cake topped with a spoonful of yogurt or crème fraiche.

This is a delicious summer salad that is low FODMAP and gluten free. If you wanted, you could remove the goats cheese to make it vegan, or alternativly add some grilled chicken to boost the protein content if you like!

Using healthy fats from extra virgin olive oil and nuts, using a proportion of whole meal flour, using berries and keeping the sugar lower (or even replacing with date sugar) makes this cake a bit healthier than standard recipes. If you use only date sugar, add a bit more yogurt as date sugar absorbs liquid.
