Getting creative in the snack department was a big factor in my initial 70-pound weight loss and now that I'm attempting to eat low-FODMAP, I'm rediscovering its powers. There's just something totally satisfying about preparing a snack than grabbing something quick (that I always end up regretting) out of the pantry.
Before I went grocery shopping this weekend I rummaged through my fridge and pantry for low-FODMAP friendly options. I came up with:
Cucumber -- On all safe lists I can find.- Sharp Cheddar (Thanks to Cabot who sent me samples of THIS -- OMG) -- No lactose.
- Frozen blueberries -- All lists say safe in modest quantities.
- Sunflower seeds -- All lists say safe in modest quantities.
Cucumber -- On all safe lists I can find.I put them together to make a plate of awesome! Sometimes the simplest things are the most satisfying.
Here's what I did...
- 1 mini cucumber, sliced
- 1 oz sharp cheddar cheese, sliced thin
- About ¼ cup frozen blueberries (1 per cucumber slice)
- About 1 tsp sunflower seeds (5g)
- Dried basil and mint for sprinkling
Top the cucumber slices with the cheese and a frozen blueberry. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and herbs.
Let it sit for 10 minutes so the blueberries defrost a bit and then squish them down gently with your finger.
Enjoy! It's like the love child of a salad and cheese and crackers. So fun!
