    This is so yummy! I will make it again. FYI. I used orange zest, but almond extract b/c I didn’t have orange…still great.

    This sounds delicious but I thought almonds were a red light fodmap?

      Hi Jennifer, Almonds are ‘red lighted’ but you can still have 10 per sitting–if you delve more into the app it will shows that 10 almonds are ‘green lighted.’ But, I did bring the almonds and sunflower seeds down a bit in the original recipe just to lessen the overall nut quantity.
