Breakfast Dilemmas

I get so frustrated being g-free at breakfast time. Anyone that has to eat on the go can relate. Most g-free breakfast foods, although delicious, take some serious prep or require a sit down meal. Now, I have the best intentions of waking up early to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, go jogging, etc. but in my 30 years this has happened.. never.  So either I am late or I am a miserable beast because I am hungry. What’s a g-free go getter to do? There are g-free options such as granola bars, breakfast bars and bagels that you can take with you but these foods are not exactly budget friendly. Also, most of these foods are carb heavy which means within an hour you’ll be ready to hit the vending machine.  Always try to eat some form or protein in the am. It will keep you fuller longer. I tend to eat a lot of peanut butter but if you’re not a fan, try almond butter or soy nut butter. Here are a couple of my weekday breakfast on the go tricks. Stay fab and full!

Hot Ham and Cheese – put a corn tortilla on a paper towel, put a slice of cheese and a few slices of ham on top. Microwave for 15-30 seconds, fold in half and eat.

Banana Split- take a banana out of its skin and cut it in half length wise. Spread natural peanut butter on one half, sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Put the two halves together and eat. Try this with Nutella to, crazy good!

Rice Cakes – Take 2 whole grain rice cakes and spread with cream cheese and preserves of your choice. My fav is cream cheese with black berry jam.

Apple wraps- You can use either gluten free sandwich wraps or tortillas for this one. Cut up an apple into thin slices. Smear peanut butter and some honey on your wrap. Put apples on top, fold and eat.

Always warm your corn tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds wrapped in paper towels to make them soft.

Use any seasonal fruits or raisins in these wraps, the more fiber the fuller you will be!
