Especially when you’re new to FODMAP, something as simple as breakfast can become really hard… and it can be upsetting when you suddenly don’t know how to do breakfast, after so many years confidently feeding yourself. Well never fear! We have a few ideas to get you started.
Quick and easy
- Soaked oats / porridge (add coconut milk, mashed banana, and/or brown sugar for flavour). This is a really easy, really filling breakfast that has become our go-to. We especially like making soaked oats in a tupperware container so we can have them “to go”.
- Tomatoes on toast (on gluten free bread). It’s a great idea to season the tomatoes with salt and pepper while your toast cooks, and remember you should probably avoid buttering your toast (lactose is a no-no)
- Gluten free weetbix + milk (soy, coconut, or almond). Yes, it exists! Chuck some banana on top for a bit more bang.
A bit fancy
- Fry up (bacon, eggs, tomatoes, toast). We’ve found that too much oil causes an unhappy tummy… so fry with caution! This is a very hearty way to start your day (or mid-morning)
- Omelette (ham & tomatoes). Try cooking your eggs on a very low heat, then once it’s 90% done, put your ham and tomatoes on top, fold the egg in half to wrap up the fillings, and serve with some mozzarella for a treat.
- Gluten free pancakes with banana and blueberries (rice flour, eggs, coconut milk). Just like normal pancakes, but with FODMAP-friendly ingredients! Yum.
