One of the most lovely things about this year has been getting into the kitchen to cook up lots of low histamine recipes. For a long time I felt really stuck eating low histamine, and really alone with eating this relatively unknown diet. It has been so positive to experiment with cooking and connect with so many of you that also eat low histamine.
While lots of people DM me about their favourite recipes on Instagram it was so much fun to look through the analytics on the blog and see which are my most viewed recipes. I was so curious! I had an inkling that the carrot cake porridge was going to come out tops - it's such a favourite of mine and yours too. So creamy, sweet and full of flavour.
Here are my top 10 viewed low histamine recipes. Hope you find a new favourite that you haven't tried before or re-discover an old favourite. Excuse the lack of recipe template for a lot of these, they were posted before I fancied up the blog a little bit!

1 Carrot cake porridge
My favourite breakfast and yours too! My carrot cake porridge is full of healthy goodness, with lots of seeds, carrot and the sweet treat of maple syrup. I promise you it doesn't taste 'vegetably' as the carrot is naturally sweet when cooked. Perfect for cold winter's mornings, it's a warming hearty breakfast.
2 Energy balls
A lovely sweet treat, these energy balls with dates are great as a snack and especially good for when you are out and about. So simple to make and a no-bake recipe. My little nieces love these and think they are like a dessert!
Just a note that while dates rate as 0 on the SIGHI list, some people find them problematic.
3 Power bowl
This power bowl recipe seems to have become more and more popular! In fact, if you google 'low histamine recipes' it comes out as one of the top google images, which is amazing! I love bowl recipes as they give you lots of different flavours, textures and foods so you never get bored. Plus you can easily swap ingredients in and out depending on preference or what you have in the fridge. A lovely lunch or summer dinner.
4 Blueberry protein smoothie bowl
This blueberry protein smoothie bowl was one of my first recipes here on the blog! I love a smoothie bowl as a breakfast during the summer and as a post-run snack anytime of the year. Full of healthy fruit, I always add some Pulsin brown rice protein powder for a bit more substance and top with granola. So happy you guys like this recipe!
5 Creamy wild rice vegetable soup
Seeing this as number five made me re-remember this lovely creamy wild rice vegetable soup. I made it the day I did this post, and it's so good! Real healthy comfort food, this soup is perfect for lunch or dinner on a cold winter's day served with some bread or my seed crackers. It's flavoured with sweet paprika and other herbs, alongside creamy coconut milk, for lots of fragrant taste.
6 Coconut turmeric quinoa risotto
This coconut and turmeric quinoa risotto recipe is a dish that I have been making for years. I love quinoa risotto as it is easier to make than the regular rice variety, with less stirring and attention required. So it's perfect for a lazy weekday dinner when you have had a hard day!
Turmeric is understood to have anti-inflammatory properties, and together with the quinoa and veggies, this is such a healthy dish that feels like the best comfort food too.
7 Breakfast granola pizza
I loved coming up with this recipe! My breakfast granola pizza is so fun and kids will love having 'pizza' for breakfast. Full of healthy oats and seeds, and flavoured with almond butter and cinnamon, it's such a tasty treat. Perfect for brunch on a lazy Sunday morning when you have a little more time to cook. Or make it as a snack and slice up your pizza to share with friends and family.
8 Dairy-free pumpkin seed pesto
My dairy-free pumpkin seed pesto is one of my personal favourites. I know it's a favourite with you guys too because I get DMs from you over on my Instagram about it, which is so lovely. For quick dinners you can't go wrong with pesto pasta and a salad on the side, and this is such a go-to dish for me on busy days when I just want to flop onto the sofa and watch Netflix. Being vegan and nut-free it should suit most diets.
9 Apple and pumpkin seed granola
If I had to choose, this apple and pumpkin seed granola is my favourite granola recipe. I love the combination of oats, apple, seeds and maple syrup. It's sweet but not too sweet, and has a real comfort food feeling to it. Lovely with some fruit and either coconut yoghurt or coconut cream for a delicious breakfast.
10 Blueberry chia jam
I always thought that jam was a huge ordeal to make, but then I discovered chia jam! This blueberry chia jam is such a treat on toast in the morning or as a mid-afternoon snack. It's a super easy recipe with only three ingredients, and full of fruity goodness. I've been mixing it with my pumpkin seed butter as a faux 'peanut butter and jelly' combo and it's so good!
So that's my round-up of the ten most popular recipes here on the blog. It was so much fun to do this post and see your favourites. So happy that you guys love them as much as I do. Leave a comment down below to let me know which is your favourite!
