Cashew and Rice Syrup Sandwich

Serves 1
Time ~3 mins

Ingredients

2 plain rice thins (a)
1 tsp homemade cashew paste (b)
2 tsp brown rice malt syrup

Foodnotes

(a) The only ingredients in rice thins should be rice
(b) Cashew paste is failsafe and low FODMAP at 2 tsp (10 g) (FODMAP Friendly App, Feb 2018 and RPAH Elimination Diet Handbook, Feb 2018). The cashew paste can be substituted with commerical cashew paste (100% lightly roasted cashew) if you tolerate moderate amines.

Instructions

Spread cashew paste on one rice thin, spread brown rice malt syrup on the other and then sandwich them together and cut in half.

Personal Notes

I often make these snack sandwiches in the morning and then eat them at Uni. I like them because they satisfy my craving for something sugary but are also not overly sweet. I think of them as a safe variation on peanut butter and honey sandwiches. If you are taking them in a lunchbox, make sure you wrap them up because the rice malt syrup will leak! Watch out for stacking with fructans and GOS and limit cashew paste to 2 tsp (10 g) a day.
