    A whole-grain superstar, quinoa offers a source of complete plant-based protein, which is especially important for people following a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. This Low FODMAP Breakfast Quinoa is similar to a bowl of oats and a great way to switch things up in the morning.

    Low FODMAP notes

    In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

    Quinoa is a low-FODMAP whole grain and source of plant-based protein. White, red, and black quinoa have all been tested. The recommended low FODMAP serving is 1 cup cooked or 155 grams.

    Low FODMAP Milk: Some examples include lactose-free cow’s milk, or plant-based alternatives like almond, coconut, hemp, or macadamia. Serving sizes vary. Please refer to the Monash FODMAP app for more info.

    Maple syrup: A low FODMAP serving is 2 tablespoons or 50 grams. Choose 100% or pure maple syrup instead of imitation or pancake syrup as these products are often made with high fructose corn syrup, a high-FODMAP ingredient.

    Optional ingredients

    Blueberries are low FODMAP in servings of a heaping ¼ cup or 40 grams. Larger servings contain higher levels of fructans.

    Chia seeds have a low FODMAP serving of 2 tablespoons or 24 grams. Larger servings contain high amounts of fructans.

    Tips

    • Rinse the quinoa well before cooking to help reduce a naturally-occurring bitter or earthy flavor.

      I don’t like quinoa. Can I use oatmeal instead?

        Hi Tasha, I haven’t tried making this exact recipe with oatmeal, but oats can be included in the low FODMAP diet. A low FODMAP serving size for rolled oats is 1/2 cup (dry) or 52 grams. Best, – Em
