Question:
My question is about breakfast for vegans. I’m avoiding carbs, grains, gluten. I don’t eat bread, pasta, grains. What would you recommend for breakfast?
– Siposs V.
Answer:
Think outside the breakfast box when it comes to morning meals with selective ingredients! You can adapt traditional breakfast foods by substituting for the grains or transform meals otherwise considered for lunch/dinner.
Some tasty options for a vegan grain-free breakfast include:
- coconut milk and chia seed pudding
- fruit and soy yogurt smoothie
- potato and spinach hashbrown patties
- sweet potato bowl with pomegranate arils and pecans
- nut date coconut bar
- avocado and black bean salad with grilled tomatoes
