Today I am sharing my take on a gluten and dairy free fish pie!
Fish pie was something I used to love before I went dairy-free, so I really wanted to try and find a dairy-free fish pie substitute! I made this dish when my two (gluten and dairy loving!) brothers came over for dinner.
I wanted something that was healthy but not too alienating to my non-health foodie guests
This gluten-free fish pie dish was perfect as it’s naturally gluten-free but with small adaptions is a perfectly balanced nutritious dinner!
At only 429 calories a serving, it’s also syn free for those on slimming world (without optional toppings-although cheese can be used as a healthy extra) and low FODMAP. Here’s what you need to make the perfect gluten and dairy-free fish pie…
Nutrition Notes for gluten and dairy free fish pie
Sprinkling powders like flaxseed or protein powder on your pie is a great way to get the benefits without the taste!
Slimming world: this is syn free without options extras (although cheese can be a healthy extra)
Low residue: If you find insoluble fibre hard to digest (many people with IBD/IBS try low fibre low residue diets) then skip the tomatoes and cook the carrots before adding it to the dish.
low FODMAP: If you’re on the low FODMAP diet, you need to ensure you only use 75g of sweet potato (this serves four so that should be ok but take extra steps just incase)

This looks delicious – it is great that it is dairy free. Both my sons suffer with low tolerance of dairy. Kaz x
