1 leaf of small romaine lettuce
Instructions to prepare one box of a Low FODMAP healthy snack with fruit, veg and seeds:
- Wash fruit and vegetables. Chop them in a way that you like.
- Place the romaine lettuce leaf first in the box. It will act as a bowl for the cottage cheese and sunflower seeds.
