Is coconut yogurt low fodmap? Yes, it is!

Did you know that recently we submitted coconut yoghurt for testing?

We found that at a serve size of 85g, the delicious snack is indeed low FODMAP!

Why test coconut yoghurt?

For those of us Fodmappers who are lactose intolerant, a cultured dairy product like whole milk yogurt and kefir must be consumed in small quantities as tolerated. But now the good news is that many cultured products, such as coconut yoghurt, can be made with coconut milk! Coconut yoghurt is made with coconut milk, so it is naturally dairy free and vegan-friendly.

Speaking of vegan-friendly, you MUST check out this delicious recipe for Vegan Peanut Butter Choc Overnight Oats by The FODMAP Friendly Vegan‘s Sharon Rosenrauch!

 

Vegan Peanut Butter Choc Overnight Oats
