Help - What Can I Eat?
Maybe you’ve just found out that you have a food allergy or are a newly diagnosed celiac. Are you planning on having a vegan friend over for brunch but have no idea what to make? We know these situations can be very stressful. Don’t panic! We have many gluten-free and dairy-free breakfast solutions for every occasion.
Maybe your dietary issues have you thinking more about what you CAN’T eat instead of all the things you CAN eat.
That is common. Who said you must eat just “breakfast” types of food for the first meal of the day? Is there some unwritten law? Of course not! Let’s look at all the options for a stress free, dietary-friendly breakfast.

Thinking Outside the Breakfast Box
Did you know most of the world does not eat only eggs, pancakes, and toast for breakfast?
The term breakfast is derived from the words “Break” and “Fast”. It literally describes the first time you have eaten after not eating for a long time, like after sleeping. You are “breaking” or stopping the “fast” from eating. However, there is absolutely no rule on WHAT you should be breaking your fast with.
For many years we were plagued by tummy woes because we did not know that we had food allergies, and we were not following a spleen qi diet plan. When you can’t eat gluten or dairy you start to look at other viable options. Here are a few of our favorites…
Breakfast Beverages
Coffee, tea, and orange juice are always nice but so predictable. Tantalize your taste buds with these quick and easy gluten-free and lactose-free drinks.

Awww.. Thanks Balvinder. When we were creating this roundup of our recipes, we really had no idea we had such a large selection that were both gluten and dairy free.

These all look absolutely amazing! I'd love to give that Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie a try!
HWC Magazine says
Thank you Heidi! Our Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana smoothie is one of our favorites. Naturally sweet but it tastes like a chocolate milk shake.

I went back and revisited some of these and discovered a couple of new ones. Love the rice noodle bowl and matcha pancakes. Both look like possible future meals. Nice list.
HWC Magazine says
Thank you. Yes, there are several new ones on the list. Glad we could give you a little breakfast inspiration.

This is such a fantastic resource! It can be tough to think of new early morning meals when you're in a rut, and facing particular food restrictions. I'd print this out and keep it as a little cheat sheet!
