Cinnamon Fish & Soft Bread Bites
These mild cinnamon fish and soft bread bites are designed for GLP-1 users dealing with diarrhoea, using low-fibre white bread and gently cooked fish for easy digestion. The light seasoning and low fat content help keep the snack binding and soothing while still providing high-quality protein in a small, manageable portion.
Ingredients
- 160 g white fish fillet — cut into small pieces
- 80 g white sandwich bread — crusts removed, torn into small pieces
- 20 g unflavoured or vanilla-free whey protein powder — dry
- 80 ml low-fat lactose-free milk — room temperature
- 1 g ground cinnamon — ground
- 1 g salt — fine optional
- 5 ml olive oil — for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease a small baking dish or tray with the olive oil.
- In a bowl, combine the milk and protein powder, whisking until smooth with no dry lumps.
- Add the torn white bread to the bowl and gently press so it soaks up the liquid, resting for 2–3 minutes until very soft.
- Stir in the cinnamon and optional salt, then fold in the small pieces of white fish, mixing gently so the fish is evenly distributed but not broken down completely.
- Spoon the mixture into 6–8 small mounds or mini patties on the greased tray, shaping them into bite-sized pieces.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and the bites are set but still soft, avoiding browning too much to keep them gentle on the stomach.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm; serve plain without strong sauces to keep the snack soothing and easy to digest.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your stomach is very sensitive during GLP-1 dose increases, start with just one or two bites to test tolerance, and pair them with sips of water or weak herbal tea instead of acidic or caffeinated drinks.
