I am not a morning person. I come from a long line of people who function poorly before 8am without coffee. Before I became diabetic (gestational), breakfast was often a big plate or bowl of what I now know was sugar. Oh sure it went by different names, but I learned, trusty monitor in hand, that whether it was oatmeal, cornflakes, bagels, or donuts, the typical American breakfast sent my blood sugar to unsafe levels. In addition, despite any conclusive proof, I am convinced that yeast overgrowth is often a problem for people with compromised intestines and eating lots of sugar just isn’t helpful.
And seriously, every one of us should be eating less sugar. Celiac or not. Sugar in the western diet is overdone.
So what to eat for breakfast when you are NOT cooking in the morning and you are no longer starting the day with a bowl of grains?
Here is what we eat
Breakfast #1
Combine in a bowl
Unsweetened Plain Vegan Yogurt (organic soy or So Delicious coconut milk)
Berries (frozen are fine)
Granola (a small amount from one of my homemade recipes)
Serve with coffee
Breakfast #2
Hard boiled egg (I boil a dozen at a time)
Banana
Coffee
Breakfast #3
Applegate Farms Turkey Breakfast Sausage (precooked and re-microwaved)
Banana
Coffee
Breakfast #4 (my son’s favorite)
Yogurt
Applegate Farms Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Fruit.
On the weekend I may prepare bacon or oatmeal or cream of buckwheat or pancakes with maple syrup, but that is after the coffee has had a chance to work.
What do you do for breakfast?
