Easy Ways to Up Your Fiber Game While Following the Low FODMAP Diet

Low FODMAP Hummus

Low FODMAP Hummus Made With Garlic-Infused Oil I often get asked about store-bought hummus when I discuss the low FODMAP diet with clients. However, most store-bought hummus is made with onion, garlic or other high FODMAP ingredients - and using canned chickpeas reduces the FODMAP content of the legume. So, I developed this super simple recipe for homemade hummus suitable for those following a low FODMAP diet (although you may need to hide this from your family members who ar

Eggplant Parmesan, Lightened Up! Eggplant parmesan is hands down one of my favorite dishes. However, I don't always love how I feel after eating a fried dish.

Easy, Homemade, Chocolatey Peanut Butter! Peanut butter may be my favorite food group (ha!) and it also happens to provide plant-based protein, healthy fats and is a good source of energy for athletes.
