3. Add tofu cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

7. Garnish with scallion tops and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Recipe 2: Quinoa & Spinach Power Bowl

2. While quinoa cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Sauté spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, sautéed spinach, and diced bell peppers.
5. Drizzle with lemon juice and maple syrup. Toss gently to combine.
6. Top with chopped basil and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

4. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil.
5. Use as a topping for cooked quinoa, tofu, or steamed veggies.

Tips & Variations

“To keep meals low FODMAP, avoid any garlic or onion pieces and rely on garlic-infused oils and green parts of scallions for flavor.”

• Swap tofu for tempeh for a nuttier flavor and different texture.
• Use zucchini or eggplant in place of green beans for variety.
• Add a handful of toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds to the quinoa bowl for crunch and extra protein.
• Try fresh herbs like cilantro or dill depending on your preference.
• Prepare quinoa in advance and refrigerate to save time during the week.
