A Vegan and Low FODMAP Lunch

Chef’s tip: sprinkle the bowl with a tablespoon of crumbled feta or ricotta to serve, and team with some warmed gluten free flatbread. This salad keeps well in the fridge for a day as a lunchbox option if you want to prepare the night before, or meal prep it in batches.

50g courgette, thinly sliced 

50g red pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 bunch chives, finely chopped 

Salt and pepper to taste

Whipped Feta Dip with Zaatar Roasted Courgettes
By Emma Hatcher

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.

Sticky Ginger Bundt Cake
By Emma Hatcher

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.

Kefir Berry Smoothie

Great for breakfast or as a snack during the day, this smoothie is packed with goodness. If you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add a teaspoon of honey to taste. This recipe makes 4 servings, so this delicious smoothie can be meal prepped for easy low FODMAP weekday breakfasts.

Berry, Walnut and Spinach Salad with Goats Cheese
By Matt Williamson

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!
