Vegans, what do I eat for breakfast? (read carefully)?

Question

I want to eventually cut out all or most animal products from my diet but I cannot have anything with WHEAT, SOY, or NUTS, and very little sugar in my diet. What does that leave me to eat, especially for breakfast?

Answer 1

With a littler planning you can do it. I too have many allergies.
There are Wheat(Gluten free) cereals on the market if you sometimes need a quick breakfast, along with a Rice Milk & some fruit. Hot Rice Cereal, Oatmeal. When I have time to cook I make up Muffins from Gulten Free mixes that can be eatten all week. Bob's Red Mill products is a good one. LOOK at the labels some contain nut flours. I use ENER G egg replacer in my baking.
I eat things like Oven Roasted Potatoes(left overs) with salsa.
Vans & Life Stream make wheat free frozen waffles (no egg or dairy either)
Homemade Veggie juices, Fruit of course Gods' perfect portable meal.
I use Agave Necter, small amounts of local Honey, Maple Syrup & Stevia as my "sugar replacements".
Once you get starter it is not hard. Look at all you can eat then go for it.

Answer 2

Being a vegetarian, especially a vegan, is not the best choice for everyone. My question to you would be your reasons for being a vegetarian. Is it because of your animal right beliefs or for other reasons. Either way, I would discuss this with your doctor. Let him know that you would like to work your diet around your beliefs and I'm sure you will get some good information. If this has nothing to do with strong beliefs, I would reconsider my choices, and consider adding foods that meet your nutritional needs. Do what you have to do to stick to your beliefs and stay healthy.

Answer 3

Vegans don't eat anything that harms animals in the process. They can eat anthing except any dairy products (milk, cheese, eggs, etc.) or meat products (beef, chicken, ham, ect.) and don't forget about seafood (shrimp, fish, lobster, etc.) Although if you ever buy pre-packaged foods you can always look at allergen information that might say something like "May contain milk", "May contain eggs." Also if you are considering becoming vegan be sure to take your vitamins, because it's difficult to get your calcium and proteins from vegetables and fruit. Good luck :D

Answer 4

There are many delicious breads without wheat, soy or nuts. Also, Van's makes great waffles without these ingredients. Check them out.Usually sold in health food stores and are frozen. Why not try a European style breakfast of cheese and fruit? Cereal made from corn? Cream of rice?

Answer 5

You can purchase quinoa flakes and you can try agave nectar as a sweetener, it has a very low glycemic index, or steevia. You can try having something with corn, like grits or polenta, for breakfast. And of course, fresh fruit, though watch for the sugar content... and you can always fry up some veggies with nutritional yeast added in.

Answer 6

Buckwheat (not a glutenous wheat) pancakes! Use buckwheat, Bob's Redmill No Gluten Baking Mix, and rice milk to make the batter. Then try using agave nectar as the syrup (it won't spike your insulin levels like real sugar syrup) or fresh fruit mashed on top! Then again, you could use just any of the many company's No Gluten Baking Mixes out there to make regular pancakes!

Answer 7

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's have good choices. The Van's Apple Cinnimon Waffles are AWESOME! Also try Mi-Del for snacks and cookies. Gluten-free pantry makes awesome mixes for breads, cookies, etc. Gluteno is not my favorite, but it depends on how long you have been gluten free. I have only been for 1.5 years, and I notice the difference. I know a girl with celic's disease, and she loves Gluteno products. I however don't know if these products are soy and nut free, as I am only gluten free and low sugar. I save the cookies/snacks for holidays, birthdays so I don't feel left out.

Answer 8

Green smoothies.

Any fruits you want (I hope you aren't one of the morons who thinks fruit sugar is the same as refined white sugar and is therefore bad)
then add whatever sweetener you like (I use agave nectar) or a banana.
Then add a couple handfuls of spinach (I use an entire 10 oz bag)
Blend.

Answer 9

Fresh fruit ( being careful of sugar content of course ) and non wheat based cereals ...
Ta-hu (very soft almost liquid beancurd, I think silk is the common word) and tapioca or sago pearls with acceptable sweetener..

Answer 10

Oatmeal with fruit! I absolutely love it. The fruit depends on the season and right now pears or apples are good, especially with some cinnamon added. I add soy milk but you could use rice milk if you want a creamier oatmeal. Also, a smoothie made with fruit, fruit juice and a protein powder made from rice. There's one made by Nutribiotic that the only ingredient is brown rice.
