I'm Stuck!

any ideas for a breakfast that is gluten dairy and soy free? She has decided that she doesn't like rice cakes anymore, nor PB&J. Before she was gluten free she LOVED her cereal, although now i would be scared to try it (anyway what milk would i use?!) Sure she likes silly things like pancakes, muffins and anything sweet, but it isn't very healthy Also, whatever she has for breakfast (say, pancakes) she takes it with her for sandwhich time there, so she has double pancakes/muffins.

Today she ate pancake for breakfast, sandwhich time AND for lunch when she came home!! She wasn't hungry, i just want her to eat healthy

Does she likes eggs? I usually have eggs for breakfast. The protein is excellant and you can cook them in so many ways. What do you think?

Eggs are good. I was thinking of Trader Joe's gluten-free granola or Enjoy Life's gluten-free granola (Trader Joe's is better) with rice or almond milk.

Enjoy Life bagels.

The other thing I always think is that, as far as celiac is considered, who says you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast? So much breakfast food has gluten in it so why not eat what you want for breakfast (as long as it's healthy)?

Can she handle oats. You could try mixing brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins in gluten free oatmeal. I like Cream Hill Estate's certified gluten free rolled oats. I make them in the microwave with water and they are fantastic.

My favourite breakfast is gluten-free cornflakes, coconut milk, apple sauce and one banana, all mixed in a bowl except for the cornflakes which go on top. I like to buy a coconut milk without preservatives, the others taste unpleasant I think.

Another favourite is leftovers from dinner the night before, especially if I have a long day ahead of me.

alternative milks work fine in gluten-free cereals (almond, rice, hemp milks, not to mention coconut).

pancakes and muffins can be made as healthy as you want to make them.

fried rice (eggs, rice, some veggies, you don't even need soy sauce, just a bit of salt) works great for breakfast too

smoothies (w/ protein powder) are a good option

coconut milk based yogurt with nuts/flax meal

thanks - it gives me some ideas on where to start!!! I guess i have to look for other milk. where i live there is only rice dream, which i understand has gluten in it. Am i right? The other milks (almond, etc) i guess i could find in a health store. are they very expensive? And if a recipe calls for milk/soya milk can i use one of the other milks or is the taste of them too strong?

Another idea... rice cereal (Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten-free, dairy-free version), which is like oatmeal. I mixed mine with hazelnuts, raisins, pure maple syrup, and almond milk. Yum!

Rice Dream has a tiny amount of barley. I haven't tried it since I've been off gluten, but apparently a lot of celiac/gluten intolerant people have a bad reaction. I don't think almond milk should be too hard to find... Blue Diamond makes one version. It is a little more expensive, but hopefully it will save you medical bills down the line. I try to remember that I'm investing in my health when I buy these foods. Almond milk has a very mild flavor and would make a good substitute in any recipe that calls for milk. Especially the unsweetened kind.

We love these waffles. I use 1 1/2 cups almond milk and finely chopped almonds. Keep a banana in the freezer all the time.
