Low FODMAP snack recipes and ideas

One of the hardest meals of the day to cater for on the low FODMAP diet is the humble snack. Most of the packaged snacks out there seem to contain high fructose or fructan ingredients that preclude us digestively challenged folk from purchasing them. So today I wanted to create a roundup of the best low FODMAP snack recipes and ideas from my site.

Low FODMAP snack recipes and ideas

These snack recipes are all low FODMAP and gluten free, as well as vegetarian or vegan. The low FODMAP diet is obviously not a vegetarian diet, but I am a vegetarian. There are less low FODMAP vegetarian recipes on the internet, so my aim to help fill that void.

Where possible, I always try to include nut free and egg free alternatives for those who can’t have them. Most of these recipes are xanthan gum free (the pastry based recipes being the exception). However, there are xanthan gum free pastry on my website.

Vegetarian sausage rolls

These vegetarian sausage rolls use tofu, cottage cheese and walnuts (plus low FODMAP flavourings) to achieve a delicious meaty result.

If you’re vegan, there’s a recipe for vegan sausage rolls in there as well.

Gluten free bagel with lactose free cream cheese and carrot lox

Is there anything better than a bagel with cream cheese and lox? I think not. This bagel recipe is entirely gluten free, xanthan gum free and nut free. I use this low FODMAP everything bagel seasoning, lactose free cream cheese and this low FODMAP vegan carrot lox.

Vegan protein mug cake

This vegan protein mug cake is a delicious and filling snack if you have access to a microwave. I have also posted a dairy free protein mug cake (which uses an egg) and a whey protein mug cake (whey is thirstier than plant based proteins). The mug cake below uses pumpkin seed protein, which is what gives it that matcha green hue. I have tested lots of plant proteins, though, so there are plenty of options.

Low FODMAP vegan mozzarella

I LOVE this low FODMAP vegan mozzarella recipe. I’m so proud of how cheesy it is and how nicely it works in a caprese or on a snack plate. The mozzarella uses macadamias instead of cashews for a low FODMAP alternative. It’s mild in flavour and has the perfect amount of chew – just as mozzarella should be.

Vegan, gluten free sausages

I am OBSESSED with these gluten free vegan sausages, and you best believe I’ll include them in every roundup I can. Because these sausages are made from tofu, they make a great protein based snack for vegetarians and vegans. I like to chop a few up and add them to a salad for extra oomph.

Gluten free tortillas with a salad filling

These gluten free tortillas are a recipe from my cookbook, Intolerance Friendly Kitchen. They work perfectly as wraps, using that Tiktok hack of putting a filling in each quarter before folding it up. You can use whatever works for you – I like cheese, vegan ham (I use a gluten free one with minimal ingredients called Meliora) lettuce and tomato with a mayo or your low FODMAP dip of choice.

Sometimes you just need a sweet little pick me up snack, and these easy truffles are a recipe for those times.
