    I am a big fan of rice cakes....I top them with laughing cow cheese wedges and jam, cottage cheese or my fave; peanut butter and apple slices. Another great option is protein shakes or smoothies.

    I like chopped bananas (sometimes with other fruits) with activia pouring yoghurt on. Or use gluten free bread for toast. philly choc spread on ryvita is nice but I'm ok with rye.

    Chex Cereal has gluten free varieties and they are really good.

    I absolutely LOVE Udi's bread/bagels...not exactly low calorie but good for a quick sandwich or breakfast when you want to feel like you're eating "normal" food.

    Oatmeal (With uncontaminated oats)

    Any kind of fruit

    I make shakes with bananas, almond milk and frozen fruit and plain/nonfat greek yogurt. The possibilities are endless with shakes and it will leave you feeling really full.

    I also love gluten free granola (pretty easy to find) with greek yogurt

    My FAVORITE breakfast of all time is making egg white scrambled eggs on the stovetop with veggies like bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach and a little bit of feta cheese.

    Hope this helps! I've been gluten/wheat free since I was like 2 so I know a lot of gluten free options. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with :)

    I make a refrigerator oatmeal with Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats (gf). It's cold which is surprisingly good and not my usual boring hot oatmeal.

    how about 2 to 3 eggs, with leftover meat from dinner (or turkey bacon). about 2 hours later a nectarine or green (plantain) banana and a handful of raw unsalted almonds and or raw unsalted sunflower seeds, Fills me up till lunch. Lunch & Dinner lots of veggies and lean meats, and a handful of raw unsalted seeds and or nuts. for me now, only snacks are fresh fruits & veggies or raw unsalted seeds and nuts.

    hope you find some good ideas, i saw a lot of good ones here :smile:

    Gluten free porridge is actually ok if you can get it.

    Scrambled egg and gluten free bread/toast.

    Banana and a gluten free cereal bar.

    Gluten free cereal with greek yoghurt instead of milk.

    I struggle a lot with this I dont like milk or cereal very much either so breakfast is hard!! My options tend to be...

    Wheat free toast,
    Fruit - strawberries, melon, grapes, satsumas
    Ricecakes with home made salsa (yes its not very breakfasty)
    Occasional bacon sandwich - wheat free bread, no spread, bacon grilled and all the fat cut off
    dry fruit mixed with greek yoghurt
    Fruit smoothies (banana & strawberry usually)
    or my favourite... boiled egg with asparagus tips to dip rather than toast!

    If i manage to get breakfast at all (Which is rare - the intentions are good but the time often runs out on me) its usually something really light fruit based then something with more substance for lunch like a jacket potato with home made bolognase.

    You need to check out Bob's Mill's products. I LOVE THEM, he has gluten free rolled oats so you can do oatmeal. I do 1/4 cup oats, with 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp light brown sugar, 1/4 cup skim milk and 1/4 cup water. Its great. Also, go to the frozen section and see if you cant find the Gluten Free Waffles (I think they are by VANS) . They are really good...especially the blueberry ones. Also, Bisquick and Bob's Mills does gluten free/wheat free flour that you can use for pancakes. Also, Udi's gluten free breads (I get mine from Earth Fare) is GREAT, but I can only eat it toasted. I use it for toast or sandwhiches. Also, try Grits, its a southern thing, but dress it up with some salt and pepper and some parmesean cheese (least fat filled cheese) and they are great. GOOD LUCK!!

    The people above me posted really good ideas and are things I eat myself but since someone already mentioned those....


    GF Breakfast bowl (some people might find this weird I don't know, but this is a breakfast staple for my boyfriend and I):

    basic composition-
    starch (quinoa/rice)
    protein (marinated tofu/cooked ground turkey/egg fried in Pam/black beans)
    veggie or healthy fat (avacado (my fav!)/sauteed veggies/a few sliced black olives

    Put all the ingredients together in a bowl and top with salt, pepper and some hot sauce. Yumm! It really flexible and can be made with what ever you have on hand.

    We cook extra rice on the weekends and have this during the week days when we work and make a big batch of black beans in the crock pot, put some aside for the week and then freeze the rest. Its super easy to put together, heat and eat.

    My favorite combination right now is 1/2 cup rice, 1/4 cup black beans, 1 egg fried in Pam, 1/4 medium avocado, stir-fried broccoli and onions and hawaiian sea salt and fresh pepper. I don't have the exact nutritional info but it works out to around 350-400 calories which is the perfect sized breakfast for me.


    **Edit- I'm dairy intolerant as well as gluten intolerent so I didn't think to include this but cheese would go really well with this too. Its cheese, cheese goes with everything! lol

    This is a definitely make-ahead recipe, but it freezes and reheats VERY well.
    I make a quiche with shredded frozen hash brown potatoes instead of a crust.
    Defrost 1-1/2 C. of the hash browns, squeeze out the water, and then press them into a large pie plate. Spray with a gluten-free spray butter like "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter," or something like that. Or brush the "crust" with a healthy oil. Bake at 350-400 for about 10-15 minutes until it's a little browned and crispy.
    I then dice up an 8 oz. Hillshire Farms or Hatfield ham steak (about 8 oz., I think) and put that into the cooked crust. Sprinkle with 3/4 C of a low fat shredded cheese (I like cheddar, but you'll need to find something gluten free that works for you) and then pour on a mixture of 6 beaten eggs and about 1-1/2 C. of fat-free milk.
    Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until eggs are mostly set. (It will firm up a little after you take it out.)
    The entire quiche works out to 1,410 calories, but that's because the day I made it I only had regular shredded cheddar in the house and it was 110 calories per quarter cup. Changing up the cheese could lighten this up considerably.
    When I've having it for dinner, I cut it into thirds, which works out to about 470 calories, and serve with a salad. But you can cut it into fourths (352 calories) or sixths (235 calories) or even eighths (176 calories) for a breakfast or luncheon size.
    These calorie counts are actually for regular

    GF oats, low fat milk of your choice (i like us vanilla almond milk), 3oz plain gf yogurt (i use organic lactose free). fruit of your choice, 1/2 tbs chia seeds.

    **Optional: Nut butter, raisins, honey, (really anything GF you would add to oats)

    Let all but the fruit soak overnight in your fridge YUM YUM!! The chia seeds will help keep you full
