You probably know by now that it is smart to have some snacks with you when you are following the low FODMAP diet or that it is good to bake a snack at home, so you have something healthy to take with you to work.
On my blog, you find lots of inspiration for that, for example in these blogs:

In real life, it just doesn’t always work that way.
Sometimes you are on the way to work and you suddenly feel like having a snack.
Or you forgot to take a snack with you to work and you go out in your break to buy yourself something to snack on.
