If you are just getting started with a gluten and dairy free lifestyle, it’s not always the easiest thing to find simple and (even sometimes) quick breakfast ideas. 

Between busy mornings and the fact that gluten and dairy are seemingly in every breakfast option, it can seem overwhelming at first.

• HERE is a list of 100 dairy sources and alternate names and
• HERE is a list of 124 wheat and gluten sources and alternate names

Following a dairy-free diet and/or gluten-free diet on their own is no easy task; when combined, it gets even harder.

So I want to offer several suggestions today for both gluten and dairy free breakfast ideas.

13 Gluten and Dairy Free Breakfast Ideas

1. Turkey Patties {for breakfast, baked} – you can also make these ahead of time for easy grabbing on-the-go
2. Gluten Free Breakfast Stir Fry {Low-FODMAP Bonus} – perfect for a slow Saturday morning!
3. On-the-Go Turkey Breakfast Muffins – perfect gluten and dairy-free on-the-go option
4. 4-Ingredient Mini Breakfast Poppers – I’m obsessed with these; maybe it’s the shape or maybe it’s the flavor; either way, you must try them!
5. Coconut Yogurt – a bonus to this one is that it’s a healthy recipe for DIY yogurt and contains probiotics
6. Raspberry Smoothie – something cool and delicious, especially for the summer months
7. Paleo Smoothie Bowl – how to make the best smoothie bowls that are gluten-free and dairy-free; several different ways to choose from
8. Gluten Free Personal Breakfast Loaf – simple and sweeter-by-nature, these do not contain any added sugars with a dense caloric intake
9. Whole30 Chia Pudding – the simplest chia seed pudding you can make; easily customizable with your favorite toppings 
10. Chocolate Protein Pancakes (gluten-free pancakes that are also dairy free!)
11. Sea Salted Cinnamon Almond Butter Pancakes (these use gluten-free flour > coconut flour and almond meal – not almond flour)
12. Sweet Potato Hash – love sweet potatoes? Incorporate them into breakfast for a nutritious breakfast (p.s. This is a fan favorite on the website!)
13. The Farmer’s Daughter – full recipe below

The above 13 options are more recipe-based, but you can also keep it super simple with your gluten and dairy free breakfast options.

Here are 6 simple ideas:

1. Millet “Oatmeal”: millet (or even just plain gluten-free oats) mixed with a tiny organic maple syrup, chopped almonds and banana (if desired for added protein: 1 scoop Re-Build). You could even make these as overnight oats to help save time.
2. Fresh fruit + the coconut yogurt from above (if you’re also concerned with FODMAPs, then Reasonable SIBO can help you determine the best fruits – and their quantities – to add in for this idea).
3. Scrambled eggs topped with fresh herbs – p.s. Want to know a great way to make those scrambled eggs “fluffy?” Whip the eggs together with your non-dairy milk prior to cooking
4. Frozen fresh berries topped with cashew milk and/or another dairy-free milk
5. Bone broth + ground meat + veggie of choice (simple ingredients, enough protein, and highly nourishing for your gut)
6. Cold cereal: for the most part, I rarely have cold cereal for breakfast because I don’t think it’s optimal for the most important meal of the day. That said, if you do want to choose is, then a great option is the Lovebird Gluten Free cereal. This cereal is an organic, grain free cereal that’s also Paleo, AIP, dairy free, keto-friendly and contains no refined sugars. Pair it with an unsweetened almond milk and you’re set. 

If you’re looking for even more, A Gutsy Girl’s Bible: a 21-day approach to healing the gut has a ton.

These ideas combine the two methods from above: recipe meets creation.

In other words, I’ll give you the ingredients for each and you decide how much of those ingredients you want/need to incorporate into your meal.

Some simple recipe ideas you’ll find in the include:

• Bacon Bowl
• Breakfast Fruit Bowl
• Packed Protein Bowl
• Papaya Sunrise Bowl
• Grain-Free Apple Pie Cereal

As an example for what those ideas from my book look like….here is the Breakfast Fruit Bowl:

• 2 cups melon
• 2 bananas
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup almonds
• ground cinnamon, for garnish

Now, if it’s just you and you’re only making breakfast for one, then you could easily cut those ingredients in half (or even reduce them by a fourth).

Don’t like coconut milk? Then find a different, non-dairy alternative.

The Farmer’s Daughter Recipe

I grew up in the country on dusty, gravel roads. Three sides of our house were fenced in by cornfields.

Compared to the life I know now, I was kind of a farmer’s daughter.

I think I got my work ethic from my father.

And so I ran with this idea as something incredible for the first meal of the day.

You can, too, with just 5 main ingredients. No hard work necessary.

• Brussels sprouts – because I always start my day with a green of some sort
• Pure bacon – some believe this to be the best part of this delicious healthy breakfast (myself included!)
• Raw hazelnuts – adding in healthy fats is always a good idea
• Eggs – if you have an egg allergy, then just skip the eggs
• Sage – for good measures

Those simple 5 ingredients will produce….

The Farmer’s Daughter recipe – an incredible gluten and dairy free breakfast for the whole family.

p.s. Because I’m so honest, you should know that my father would have never actually eaten this. He hated eggs. And Brussels sprouts. He probably hated hazelnuts and sage, too. But I can guarantee he would have eaten the bacon.

Our family on the other hand? Gone in an instant.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these healthy breakfast recipes for the perfect start to any day. Even if you practice intermittent fasting, at some point you will break your fast and these are some great ways to do it!
