Good breakfast foods for lyme diet

I usually don't eat breakfast but I'm noticing that if I shift my whole schedule a little and get up early enough to have breakfast and a little raw protein powder and take my vitamins then, I have way more energy throughout the day. I just don't know good breakfast foods for the lyme diet. I eat salad for breakfast with beats and sliced almonds sometimes. Sometimes quinoa flakes but I really don't like how they taste. Sometimes a little avocado or blueberries but other than that I can't think of good anti inflammatory breakfast type foods to eat. I don't eat meat or animal products. I may start eating eggs again. I thought they were upsetting my stomach but I think it may have been something else I was taking. Even if it isn't a traditional breakfast thing, just something that would be good first thing to eat. Thanks!

As I said in another thread, my daughter will often eat leftover dinner or make something non breakfasty. She makes soup sometimes, simple ones with broth, vegies, and she'll often stir in an egg or 2. She usually adds miso too, but not everyone can tolerate it.

I do better if I wait a while before eating at the start of the day, but on days like today (in the 60s and sunny) I wander outside and lose track of time, so I wait a bit too long to eat. I did it today, so now I have a coconut pancake cooking, which I'm baking in a pan. It has 3 eggs in it, so it lasts me quite a while.

I often have a taco salad, which consists of a mix of lettuces, sometimes spinach or other dark greens, carrots, tomatoes, avocado or guacamole if I feel like making it, peppers and other seasonal vegies. Then top it with some ranch dressing, salsa, cheese black beans, and some nuts or seeds or a few crumbled corn chips. You could alter it to meet your needs.

I feel it would be better to eat lighter in the evening, but I have yet to do that since it would cut into my garden time to make a larger meal for lunch. That's my therapy, so I need the sunny time of day.

Come on over! :)

Coconut Pancakes

3 T coconut flour
3 eggs
2 T applesauce
1 T melted butter
3 or 4 T coconut milk or other milks
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t vinegar

Stir flour and eggs until paste forms. Stir in next 3 ingredients. Add last 2 ingredients just before cooking, mixing it in gently. I put the soda in the center and then pour the vinegar on it so it gets to all the baking soda. If you make pancakes, make them small so they don't fall apart when you flip them. They're slower to cook than a standard pancake, so that's why I just bake it all. I also add cinnamon and ginger and top the cake with applesauce and and some plain yogurt. I put blueberries in it sometimes too.

Some may not like the taste of it, but I don't mind it. I need to try other flour brands to see if there's a difference.

Hope you like it!

I don't eat gluten but I do eat other types of gluten free flours. I make muffins and pancakes with sorghum and buckwheat flours. I also eat a kasha cereal that has almond butter in it and is flavored with ginger. I eat homemade granola and I make a chickpea flour skillet bread.

Sometimes I eat a yeast free gluten free quinoa bread toasted. It's awful stuff but I eat it when I am desperate for something different or don't have anything else made up.

My pleasure! Let me know how you like them. I forgot to mention that I mix it with a fork. The lumps will blend in once the milk is added.

I used to make buckwheat pancakes a lot, but it started bothering me, so I switched to coconut flour after trying almond flour. I figured I didn't need the extra calories from the almonds.

Buckwheat works well for baked goods.

Your welcome! Strawberries on top would be good too. I'll have to try that.

I have a really nice smoothie of

1 cup coconut water
couple handfuls of spinach
banana
2 scoops protein powder
2 tbsp almond butter
flax seeds
ice

This is what I have pretty much every day.

I also eat gluten-free oatmeal and millet cereal.

I also have a recipe for breakfast "cake" which is made with ground almonds and coconut milk that cooks up in a couple of minutes in the microwave.

For pancake topping I make "fake" syrup by mixing melted butter, cinnamon, and stevia powder together or I just mix some stevia powder and cinnamon together and sprinkle it on top of the pancakes.

Eggs hurt my stomach but I like the soup idea. These are some great ideas. Thank you.
