Diets that restrict the consumption of gluten or even diets for celiacs, need some adaptations so that you don’t stop enjoying dishes you love to keep your diet regulated.
And making these adaptations doesn’t necessarily have to mean losing in terms of flavor. It is possible to recreate some dishes that traditionally contain gluten, replacing this ingredient with others, such as chia, brown rice and gluten-free flour, and still maintain the quality of the recipe and its taste.
It is normal for the taste to be a little different, and in some cases the texture as well, but over time, your taste buds will get used to the substitutions and you will start to perceive gluten-free dishes as any other “normal” dish.
Below you will find recipes for breakfast, snacks to take to work and recipes for lunch, dinner and also some dessert ideas.
