SIBO-Friendly Breakfast Recipes to Start Your Day Right
A nourishing breakfast sets the tone for a good day, especially when managing SIBO. Here are a few ideas to kickstart your morning:
1. Soothing Coconut Chia Seed Pudding: Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition and their gentle fiber is SIBO-friendly. Soak them overnight in creamy coconut milk with a touch of maple syrup for a breakfast that’s as gentle on your gut as it is delicious.
2. Savory Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins: These protein-packed muffins are perfect for those who prefer a savory start. Combine eggs with sauteed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and a dash of herbs for a flavorful and satisfying breakfast or on-the-go snack.
3. Low-FODMAP Smoothie Powerhouse: Blend a handful of spinach, half a banana (green-tipped is best!), a scoop of lactose-free protein powder, and a tablespoon of almond butter with water or coconut milk for a refreshing and nutrient-rich smoothie.
Satisfying SIBO-Friendly Lunch Recipes
Don’t let SIBO slow you down during the day. These lunch recipes are easy to pack and even easier to enjoy:
