'Tis the season

I love Christmas. 

It's a time to be thankful; a time spent with family. Oh, and an opportunity to eat your body weight in scorched almonds.* 

Family, food, and festivities. Seriously, what's not to love?

Plus, with more and more gluten-free Christmas treats like these now available, food intolerances are no barrier to enjoying the Christmas cheer. 

Along with celebrations and credit card debt, Christmas also brings with it summer warmth and delicious berries - meaning it's time to replace my winter rice porridge with delicious summer muesli.

Now finding muesli that's both gluten-free and low-FODMAP can be pretty tricky, especially since most dried fruits wreak havoc on sensitive tummies. 

But this recipe is just the ticket. 

It's light, scrumptious, and tummy friendly. 

Packed with the good energy you need to get you through your Christmas shopping. 

Tummy-friendly summer muesli

Makes 8 servings (3/4 of a cup per serving)

2 cups of gluten free cornflakes 

1 cup of buckwheat puffs

1 cup of millet puffs 

3/4 cup of chopped nuts

1/4 cup of sliced almonds

1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup of dried cranberries

1/4 cup of banana chips (broken into pieces)

1/4 cup of desiccated coconut

Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Keep in an airtight container. 

Serve with a low-FODMAP serving of summer fruit, your milk of choice, and a dollop of yoghurt. 

Note: A serving of muesli is low in FODMAPs. However, some of the ingredients can be high in FODMAPs if eaten in large quantities. 

* Dark chocolate scorched almonds are the business - delicious and low-FODMAP in moderation. But if you do plan to eat your body weight, I can't guarantee that you won't get a stomach ache.
