Looking for a travel-friendly lunch that will actually keep you full? You’re going to love these low FODMAP sweet potato bacon wraps!
Keep it FODMAP friendly
There are only three things you need to think about for these low FODMAP sweet potato bacon wraps.
First up, avocados. According to Monash University, avocado is low FODMAP in servings of 1/8 avocado (30 g) per servings. Servings of 1/4 avocado (45 g) are high in the polyol sorbitol.
We’ll be using 1/4 serving of avocado to make our avocado sauce, which works out to one serving of avocado.
Next up, sweet potatoes. According to the Monash app, sweet potatoes are low FODMAP in servings of 1/2 a cup (75 g) per sitting. Servings of 2/3 cups (100 g) or more are high in the polyol mannitol.
We’ll be using 1/4 cup of sweet potato, which works out to 38 g per serving. This is is well within Monash’s recommended range.
Worried that’s too many FODMAPs? No worries, friend! Monash has measured the recommended serving sizes in their app so you have room to combine them. Most FODMAP-trained specialists recommend sticking to 1.5 servings of each FODMAP group per sitting and we’re right on the mark!
Last but not least, wraps. I like to use brown rice wraps. Brown rice has no detectable FODMAPs, so these won’t add anything to your FODMAP load. If you can’t find brown rice wraps, you can try a wheat wrap (try to keep it to the same serving as wheat bread which is 24 g). Or, you can use a lettuce wrap if you have one handy.
Brown rice wraps can be a little stiff when you’re using them, so warm it up in a dry frying pan or in the microwave before adding your ingredients to prevent cracking. Once it’s in place it will hold it’s shape without cracking too badly, even if it cools back down.
Pick your sidekick!
Think your wrap looks lonely? Try pairing it with some low FODMAP potato chips, these tasty low FODMAP potato wedges, or a simple low FODMAP garden salad.
