Low-FODMAP Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

It’s rhubarb season and the only way I can think of celebrating is by pairing rhubarb with strawberries – quite possibly the best way to enjoy rhubarb. I heard a story once about the day I was born. My Mother had been waiting patiently for me to arrive and she was given some rhubarb from her uncle Tommy’s garden. Not too long after, she was on her way to the hospital. I was also told that my parents considered naming me Rhubarb, but I am truly content and appreciative with the name Colleen :).

To honor my Mother, and the three year anniversary of her passing today, I made some Low-FODMAP Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp. It is delicious and can be enjoyed for dessert but also brunch too. Pair it with some white tea (low-FODMAP) and top with whipped cream if you so desire (up to a 1/2 cup is low-FODMAP).

Rhubarb is low in calories and high in vitamin A, vitamin K, and the stalks are good sources of several B-complex vitamins such as folates, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), thiamin, and pantothenic acid.

*Please stick to one serving per sitting in order to keep this recipe low in FODMAPs for your tummy. **Also, most everything I used in this recipe was organic but consuming organic foods is not the protocol for the low-FODMAP diet. It’s just a way of healthy living if you’re able to swing it!
