Dairy Free Breakfasts/rice Milk Recipe?

[GFreeMO]

I have recently given up dairy. I have been starving through breakfast b/c I can't think of anything to eat that does not have dairy. I was having corn or rice chex with lactaid milk and fruit. I am allergic to nuts and don't eat soy. The only rice milk in my area is Rice Dream. I wonder if it's possible to make your own.

Any ideas on what I could have for breakfast?

Thanks a lot!

Yes you can make your own; there are many sites online with recipes and directions. this is just one Open Original Shared Link

You could also use coconut milk instead of rice milk. Both Silk and So Delicious have coconut milks that are dairy free and soy free. Open Original Shared Link

Most people who are allergic to nuts can consume coconut products without a problem.

Check out the what's for breakfast thread to see what peopel are eating:

People eat all kinds of things and not just traditional "breakfast" food.

I use coconut milk (So Delicious brand) mostly when I do eat cereal.

How about eggs? I often have eggs scrambled, in mushroom chive omelettes, poached, shirred, deviled...

When we roast potatoes we do extra so I can use the leftovers to make myself all kinds of yummy things for breakfast including slicing potatoes and gluten-free sausage into a cast iron skillet and roast in the oven. Sprinkle with chives after (this is especially yummy with chorizo). I do skillet scrambles - sear a wee bit of pancetta or bacon, cook the potatoes in the fat, scramble an egg and throw all together with some scallions. I used to add cheese but have since had to eliminate it.

Smoothies are very good and do not require dairy. You can add apple or other juice (cranberry is good). I like to add flaxmeal to mine.

Though I have not done so I believe you can make your own rice milk. You could use that to make French toast (if you make your own bread and thickly slice it).

Often I have non-traditional breakfast foods for breakfast like leftovers from dinner. You can make really good gluten-free/DF muffins, cupcakes and quick breads, too!

I have tried coconut milk. It did not agree with me. Coconut milk has a laxative effect in some people. Me included! Great idea about the eggs though. I could have those with veggies, meat cut up in it or someone in aenother thread was talking about Cream of rice cereal. I'll have to get some of that too. I really don't even like ceral, it was just easy and left me with a blood sugar crash. Eggs and meat and fruit will be much better.

apple or rice cake w/ peanut butter

hot cereal (gluten-free, of course) with apple and cinnamin

eggs (and gluten-free toast if available, if not, fruit)

gluten-free pancakes (you can sub water if you have to)

fried rice

smoothie made with fruit (and maybe protein powder, if you can find Gluten-free Casein-free)

Have you worked out any baking recipes? Some quick bread recipes use oil rather than butter and you can slice and freeze them. I make gluten-free scones a lot but I don't know how well the soy-free Smart Balance works for that kind of baking.

The betty crocker website has no butter instructions that use oil in place of butter. I am going to make some banana bread tomorrow. Thanks for the idea!

Buckwheat pancake with no dairy or egg - but you can add an egg to this to bump the protein up on it

these can be made either sweet or savory

Then a serving of humus, or refried beans, or baked beans - very filling.

What about home made bread with a non-dairy butter? We have Nutellex. Other than that the Lowan Cocoa Bombs cereal is dairy free. We have a whole variety of cereals on the shelves that are gluten free and vegan.

How about Strawberry Banana Fauxgurt? I found it www.athomewithginac.blogspot.com

1 banana

4 strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup coconut milk (from the can)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1/4 cup diced pineapple (if you wish)

Mash banana, add berries, coconut milk and mix

add chia seeds, mix. In the fridge overnight

and you've got a healthy meal.
