Ingredient Notes:

Quinoa - This is considered a low FODMAP grain and can be consumed in moderate amounts, typically up to 1 cup (cooked) per serving. We wouldn’t recommend going above that!

Dairy-free Milk - We personally think almond milk is the best, but you can choose whichever alternative you prefer! Only thing is to check the label and ensure there’s no sneaky FODMAP ingredients in there. Remember: Soybeans contain Oligosaccharides (a type of FODMAP) so probably best to stay off soy milk if you can!

Maple syrup - This is low FODMAP in small quantities, usually up to 1 tablespoon per serving. Just make sure to check the ingredients and ensure it’s pure (no sneaky FODMAP added ingredients!)

Fruit Toppings - Blueberries and Strawberries contain moderate amounts of FODMAPs, specifically fructose. Therefore it’s important to only use a handful!
