Need Breakfast Ideas And Snack Ideas

[alexschatzi]

I have been doing ok with the gluten free diet so far but am lacking breakfast ideas big time. Any ideas on breakfast and in between snacking? I should stay away from dairy, sugar and eggs as well by the way. Thanks for your help, I am pretty new to this subject!

Well, I usually eat stir-fry for breakfast (like the other meals I have). Who says you have to eat 'breakfast foods' for breakfast?

I just tried for the first time cream of buckwheat (Bob's red mill), which suddenly our local health food store has (plus a ton of other things, last year she hardly knew what gluten-free meant), I put cut up apples and some ground hazelnuts in, for added goodness. I ate it with maple syrup and some goats milk (it seems okay, you could use almond milk or rice milk instead). It was really good!

Breakfast: fruit (with or without nut butters), bacon, hot rice cereal with fruit and rice/almond or soy milk, smoothies, potatoes, gluten-free toast, gluten-free pancakes (you can easily make them egg/dairy free), tofu scramble if you can't eat eggs (Amy's makes a good frozen one - it's actually good). You could probably make a good breakfast sandwich with canadian bacon, tomatoes and gluten-free bread/corn thins/corn tortillas. Or just eat your leftovers from dinner for breakfast

Snacks: fruits and veggies, corn thins, corn chips, rice cakes, hummus, salsa, guacomole, alpsnak bars, organic food bars, cliff nectar bars, almonds (or any kind of nuts), dried fruits are good if you want something sweet but can't have sugar. I like celery with peanut butter or carrots with hummus...

Here's another breakfast idea:

I made it once and it was pretty tasty. Someone posted a recipe for a quinoa breakfast cereal that looked really good too. I'll have to find it.

Hi,

My favorite recipe book is Carol Fenster's Special Diet Solutions Healthy Cooking without Wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs, yeaast or refined sugar. I personally use honey in place of anything else that is suggested, as I think they body breaks it down better. I actually have too many allergies to eat just about anything I bake for our family and son (18), but they love it all! On page 66 of my cookbook there is a recipe for wonderful gluten-free, dairy free, egg free waffles. You could add pumpkin, substitute some buckwheat flour (its gluten-free), for some of the flour mix, add blueberries or whatever you wanted to do to change it to bring more variety and you would have a wonderful breakfast! We have a family tradition every Lord's Day (Sun) evening of gathering together and having gluten-free waffles for supper. I would highly recommend this cookbook, you should see mine! It looks like its been through a war, its been used so much! It would be great if someone would make a gluten-free cookbook with plastic pages!

smoothies for breakfast, fruit, make your own granola with nuts and seeds and dried fruits, Enjoy Life Foods has some great allergen free bagels, cereal bars and breads for toasting... I think it's free of all your allergens.
