🍐 Air-Fried PB Toast – Low-Tyramine Twist
If you’re following a low-tyramine diet, a simple swap can make this cozy snack work for you. Instead of using bananas, try fresh sliced pear or apple—both naturally sweet, fiber-rich, and lower in tyramine. For extra crunch or flavor, skip the dark chocolate (which is higher in tyramine) and sprinkle on cacao nibs or carob powder instead. It’s still delicious, satisfying, and gentle on sensitive systems.
