Four Digestion-Friendly Snack Ideas

Four fibre- and probiotic-rich snack ideas that are gentle on digestion.

Travel, holidays and routine changes can unsettle digestion. These four fibre- and probiotic-rich ideas are gentle on the gut — plus two habits that matter most: movement you enjoy, and plenty of water.

1 · Pineapple chia bowl

  • 2 slices pineapple, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, 1 teaspoon tahini, 4 tablespoons coconut or probiotic yogurt (approx. 290 kcal, estimated)

2 · Red berry smoothie

  • Blend 1 cup frozen red berries with 130 ml coconut milk; top with 1 teaspoon tahini, 1 heaped tablespoon hemp seeds and 1 heaped tablespoon chia (approx. 290 kcal, estimated)

3 · Cashew-tahini chocolate balls

  • Blitz 1 cup raw cashews, 3 tablespoons double-roasted tahini and 1 tablespoon cacao; roll into balls, dip in melted dark chocolate and freeze (approx. 95 kcal per ball, estimated)

4 · Beet & walnut salad

  • Boiled beets, walnuts, avocado, dried cranberries, 1–2 tablespoons olive oil and any soft greens — parsley, lettuce, rocket, mint, dill or cress (approx. 320 kcal per serving, estimated)

And two habits that help digestion most of all: movement — whatever kind feels good to you — and plenty of water.
