Want an easy breakfast and brunch recipe that everyone will love? Don’t want the stomach woes or to sacrifice on taste? Juggling dietary issues and picky eaters can be stressful. Try our top healthy gluten and dairy free breakfasts for a delicious meal on the go, a fancy brunch or even make ahead breakfast idea... without all the fuss!
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.

Quick and Easy Breakfasts on the Go
Life is not perfect, that’s for sure. As much as we would all love a leisurely breakfast or brunch with endless cups of Tranquil Lemon Ginger Tea, that’s not always possible. That’s exactly why you need a healthy protein packed breakfast that’s portable to travel with you to work, school or errands. These allergy friendly breakfasts on the go will keep you going strong all morning long.
Brunch Party Menu to Feed a Crowd
Whether you are planning on having a crew over to celebrate Mother’s Day, holiday celebration or a party, we have you covered. The key to success is being able to make most things in advance so you are less frazzled the morning of the gathering.
- Set it up buffet style so the guests can help themselves.
- Consider having a Garden Party outdoors if Mother Nature is cooperating.
- If you know your guests well, have them bring one of our 17 Amazing Spring Potluck Recipes.
- Set up a Tea, Coffee, and Beverage station.
Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas
Meal planning just got easier with these quick and easy gluten and dairy-free breakfast ideas. If you can spare 20 minutes on one day, you could have breakfast made for the entire week.
Vegan Breakfast Meal Prep
There is more to breakfast than just eggs and breakfast meats. We even have vegan low carb options!
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.
Say goodbye to old traditional breakfast options! Instead, say hello to a whole new world of gluten and dairy free breakfasts that the whole family will love.

OK!! Hmmph!! Am SO typically European-born! A wee bit of acai or pomegranate or blackberry juice, a big, big mug of stevia-sweetened black coffee and a hugely grain-loved piece of toast with the 'usual': cottage cheese, gravlax, spiced herring, smoked eel, y'days's veal loaf etc etc et al . . . in bed, on the phone, with pages of 'to-do' being written down . . . looking at some of these - lovely - may even try if I am awake enough after finishing work at 2-3 am 🙂 !
Healthy World Cuisine says
Anything for breakfast goes at my house. Actually, I eat none of the usual items served for breakfast. Most generally my breakfast are a vegetable stirfry with loads of anti-inlfammatory spices like turmeric, cumin, etc. So maybe I have one up on you there.. LOL Now your spiced herring, smoked eel and yesterdays veal roast look very calm in comparison... Now girl...what are you doing up at 2-3 in the am. Lights out and rest up and wishing you a super weekend!
