10 Delicious Fody Recipes for a Happy Gut

Living with digestive sensitivities doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavor or variety in your diet. Fody Foods has revolutionized the way people with IBS and other digestive issues approach cooking by creating delicious, low FODMAP certified products that make meal preparation both enjoyable and gut-friendly. Whether you're following a strict low FODMAP diet or simply looking to reduce digestive discomfort, these ten mouthwatering recipes using Fody products will satisfy your cravings while keeping your gut happy.

Breakfast Options That Won't Upset Your Stomach

Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

Start your day with these portable, gut-friendly breakfast bars that combine the natural sweetness of blueberries with the heartiness of oats. Using Fody's Low FODMAP Maple Syrup instead of traditional sweeteners ensures these bars won't trigger digestive issues.

Simply mix 2 cups of gluten-free rolled oats with 1 cup of almond flour, ½ cup of Fody Maple Syrup, ¼ cup of melted coconut oil, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries, press into a lined baking dish, and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. These bars store well in the refrigerator for up to a week, making them perfect for busy mornings.

For an extra nutritional boost, consider adding 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed or chia seeds to the mixture. These ingredients not only provide healthy omega-3 fatty acids but also contribute additional fiber that's generally well-tolerated by sensitive stomachs. You can also customize these bars with seasonal variations—try substituting strawberries in spring or adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and diced pears in fall. The natural pectin in the fruit helps bind the bars together while providing gentle fiber that supports digestive health rather than disrupting it.

Veggie-Packed Breakfast Frittata

This protein-rich frittata incorporates Fody's Garlic-Infused Oil to deliver that delicious garlic flavor without the FODMAPs that can trigger digestive discomfort. The beauty of this recipe is its versatility—you can use whatever low FODMAP vegetables you have on hand.

In an oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of Fody Garlic-Infused Oil and sauté 1 cup of diced bell peppers, 1 cup of spinach, and ½ cup of cherry tomatoes until softened. Whisk 8 eggs with 2 tablespoons of lactose-free milk, salt, and pepper, then pour over the vegetables. Cook on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, then transfer to a 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes until set. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a side of sourdough toast for a complete breakfast that's gentle on your digestive system.

This frittata works wonderfully as a make-ahead breakfast solution too. You can prepare individual portions by baking the egg mixture in a muffin tin for about 15-18 minutes. Once cooled, these mini frittatas can be stored in an airtight container for up to four days, providing a quick protein-packed breakfast that requires minimal morning effort. For those who need additional calories without digestive distress, pair with a side of roasted low FODMAP root vegetables like carrots or parsnips tossed in Fody's Shallot-Infused Oil and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary.

Lunch Ideas That Keep You Going

Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl

This vibrant lunch option combines protein-rich quinoa with Mediterranean flavors for a satisfying midday meal. The star of this dish is Fody's Mediterranean Salad Dressing, which provides all the flavor without any of the high FODMAP ingredients typically found in similar dressings.

Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package directions and let it cool slightly. Toss with 1 diced cucumber, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese, ¼ cup of pitted kalamata olives, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint. Drizzle with 3-4 tablespoons of Fody Mediterranean Dressing and gently mix. This bowl can be enjoyed warm or cold and makes excellent leftovers for the next day.

Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocados

This protein-packed lunch option is both elegant and simple to prepare. The creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the tangy tuna salad, creating a balanced meal that's satisfying and gut-friendly.

In a bowl, mix 2 cans of drained tuna with 3 tablespoons of Fody Mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Fody Lemon and Herb Seasoning, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped red bell pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill. Halve 2 ripe avocados, remove the pits, and fill each half with the tuna mixture. For an extra touch, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with additional dill. This lunch comes together in under 10 minutes but tastes like you spent much longer in the kitchen.

Dinner Recipes That Impress

Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken

This foolproof roasted chicken recipe uses Fody's Garlic-Infused Oil and Lemon and Herb Seasoning to create a flavorful main dish that's perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests who may not even realize they're enjoying a low FODMAP meal.

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat dry a whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds) and place it in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of Fody Garlic-Infused Oil with 2 tablespoons of Fody Lemon and Herb Seasoning. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin of the breast. Stuff the cavity with 1 quartered lemon and a handful of fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Serve with roasted potatoes and carrots that can cook alongside the chicken during the last 45 minutes of roasting time. The result is a juicy, flavorful chicken with crispy skin that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Shrimp and Vegetable Stir-Fry

This quick and colorful stir-fry comes together in less than 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights when you want something nutritious but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. Fody's Sesame Ginger Sauce adds authentic Asian flavor without the garlic and onion that can cause digestive distress.

Heat 2 tablespoons of Fody Shallot-Infused Oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside. In the same pan, stir-fry 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup of sliced carrots, and 2 cups of baby bok choy for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Return the shrimp to the pan and add ⅓ cup of Fody Sesame Ginger Sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly and cook for another minute. Serve over steamed rice or rice noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion tops (the green parts are low FODMAP).

Beef and Vegetable Pasta Bolognese

This hearty pasta dish uses Fody's Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce to create a rich and satisfying bolognese without the onions and garlic that typically form the base of this classic sauce. It's comfort food that won't leave you uncomfortable later.

In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add 1 diced carrot, 1 diced red bell pepper, and the green parts of 2 green onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Pour in 1 jar of Fody Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce and ¼ cup of water. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Meanwhile, cook 12 ounces of gluten-free pasta according to package directions. Toss the pasta with the sauce and serve with a sprinkle of lactose-free parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
