Notes

Recipe Notes & Ingredient Swaps

Make a low-FODMAP version with lactose-free cottage cheese.
Swap the passion fruit with any frozen or fresh fruit you love. Think fresh berries, apple or pear slices, pineapple, kiwi fruit (fabulous for easing constipation!), melon, chunks of juicy orange, grapefruit, and more.
Swap the walnuts with pecans, almonds, and hazelnuts. Or opt for a spoonful of creamy peanut butter or other nut butter. And don't forget about seeds like chia, hemp, sunflower, flax, and pumpkin for a nutritious crunch!
Additional ingredients: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Other options include toasted coconut flakes, crunchy granola, and spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg.
Make it a savory bowl with veggies, herbs, leafy greens, avocado, nuts, and seeds.
