Recipe: Low FODMAP Simple Soba Bowls

These simple soba bowls are quick, versatile, nutritious and a great option for anyone following a low FODMAP diet

Traditional soba noodles are made from 100% milled buckwheat which means they are naturally gluten-free, low in FODMAPs and high in protein. 

Low FODMAP diets can often rely heavily on gluten-free substitutes for gluten or wheat containing foods however, it is important to check your product labels as many of these foods can be filled with additives and preservatives which may disturb your digestive system and ultimately are unnecessary in the diet. 

By choosing a food that is naturally gluten-free, like buckwheat noodles or even brown rice noodles, you get a much less processed food that is higher in nutrition and better for you. 

The vegetables used in the bowls can be switched to match what is in season or your preference and you can also try switching the tofu for tempeh, a similar soybean-based protein-rich food which uses the whole soybean instead.

Make these bowls on a lazy weeknight when time is short and energy is low. You only need 30 minutes, a handful of key ingredients and a nutritious, healthy dinner will be yours.
