If you are a fan of oats and easy recipes, you will love these. They are naturally gluten free as well as vegan, depending on the sweetener of choice. Low FODMAP with mods below. And very kid friendly.

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 mashed banana. Avoid extremely ripe for low fodmap.
- 1 cup rolled oats (gluten free for celiac)
- 2 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, arequipe, or nutella)
- 1 tbsp of oil (coconut or olive oil)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional). Choose dairy free for vegan.
- 1/8 tsp salt + sprinkling

HOW TO:
1. Mash banana
2. Add oats, oil, sweetened, and salt to banana and mix
3. Fold in chocolate, if using
4. While oven is heating to 350F, add mix to the fridge and let sit for 10min
5. Use small scooper to shape the balls into circles, about 1cm in thickness. You can also use 1 tbsp measurements. Use parchment paper.
6. Sprinkle salt. Makes about 14 - 16 small cookies
7. Cook for 15-16 minutes. Let cool and serve 😎

Only 5% of people in the US reach their fiber goals. Yup - very few. Fiber is important for our gut and immune health. It keeps our little gut bugs happy and well nourished.

Legumes are a great source of fiber, around 6-8 grams per half cup. One of my go-to hacks, for both myself and my kids, is adding legumes to salads, piece of toast, or in this case pasta for a fiber boost.

Now.. For my or friends who feel they can’t tolerate legumes, I want you to try a few things:
1) Low and slow. Start with 1 to 2 tbsps at a time. For instance, this recipe has ~3/4 cup of lentils for 6-8 servings.
2) Legumes are part of the galactooligosaccharide fam (GOS for short). These are the food of choice for bacteria, hence the tooting that follows. Presence not amount dictates the benefits. So, small amounts that you CAN tolerate will help your microbiome. AND - it builds tolerance (like a muscle).
3) Use canned legumes. It’s OKAY.
4) If you are starting with small amounts, one great way to lower waste is by portioning them out in ice-cube trays and defrosting only one cube as needed.

RECIPE-ISH
I did not follow a recipe, but I will share what I did, so you can wing it and make something delicious too.
- Cooked 1 lb of very lean red meat in 1-2 tsp of olive oil.
- Once fully cooked, I added 3/4 cup leftover lentils. You can also use the premade ones from TJs.
- Added ~1 cup of senstive sauce, 1/2 canned tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water, and a big pinch of salt. Cover and slow cook for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, make your pasta of choice. Follow the box instructions. Do not forget the salt while cooking (makes a difference).
- Mix everything up and serve with generous amounts of parmesan.

Plant and fiber variety is great for our gut. Bu… sometimes adding more fiber in the diet can be a little tricky if you have a sensitive or unaccustomed gut. A few tips:
- highlight some low fodmap fibers first
- make some modifications when preparing ie eat only the florets of broccoli vs the stems
- chew raw veggies to death
- start low and slow ie small portion first

A few tips for the Halloween madness:
- Provide some fat/ fiber/ protein before trick or treating- something like pizza, cheese sticks, whole fruits, nuts, seeds, beef sticks, sandwiches
- Hydrate, mostly with water
- Let them run around
- Don’t use language like bad or toxic around any food, especially candy or treats. Usually does more harm than good
- Do suggest to slow down, chew their food, and tune in to their bodies
- Hydrate some more
- Brush teeth and floss, especially for all those gummies
- We usually sort through the candy and keep our favorites, which truthfully is usually most haha. I don’t hide the candy. I usually let them choose 1-3 pieces every day until they forget about it.
- More than anything - I don’t make a big deal about it (ie the sugar) and in turn, they don’t make a big deal out of it.

Happy Halloween!

Looking for something refreshing and tasty that will support your gut? Try these green pops! They have key ingredients that keep your digestion happy 💩 They are also

Spinach is packed with insoluble fiber. Kiwis are high in fiber but also have a digestive enzyme called actinidin that improves gastric emptying and stimulates the colon. Chia seeds are a great bulking agent, high in soluble fiber. Coconut water is high in hydrating electrolytes. Ginger has a calming effect on the gut and supports healthy digestion.

WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2 cups of spinach, packed
- 3 kiwis, peeled (even though you can eat the skin if you want!)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds, let sit in liquid for 5min before blending
- 1 banana
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup coconut water
- 1 piece of ginger, ~1 inch (optional)

Blend until you have a smooth consistency. Freeze in ice-pop mold (usually 3-4oz per pop). Makes ~4-5 pops depending on your mold.

Love giving the kids ice pops in the shower. So special for them, and less messy for me 😉
