During this confinement, I said to myself “hey why not share my ideas for my week’s gluten-free breakfast” with all the recipes. Believe me, there’s nothing complicated about it, and you probably already know some of them. In any case, I hope it will give you some new inspiration for your daily gluten-free breakfast!
Yes, breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. Whatever you eat at breakfast will be much better digested by your body. So treat yourself in the morning!
Let’s take a look at my gluten-free breakfast ideas :
Monday : A detox shot, and a protein-packed club sandwich to start the week right
You will need:
- 5 slices of ginger
- 1 half lemon
- 1 orange
- Two slices of gluten-free bread
- 1 egg
- 1 half slice of ham
- 1 half avocado
- 4 cashew nuts
- Salted butter
- 1 lettuce leaf
- salt and pepper
When you wake up, always drink water. Then, to cleanse your body a little, here’s a simple fasting tip: take 5 small slices of ginger. Put the ginger in an empty saucepan and crush it with the back of a spoon. When ready, add half a lemon juice. Then add a little water (enough for one shot).
Then turn on the heat, and when the water boils, turn off the heat. Above all, cover your pot so that all the ingredients infuse well! Wait about 15 min. When your shot is cold, strain it through a colander to collect only the juice… and drink up! It’s not going to be very pleasant, but believe me, your body will thank you.
Once you’ve had your shot, it’s time to turn to your sandwich. Heat up a frying pan and make yourself a fried egg. When your egg is almost ready, add some broken cashew nuts. Meanwhile, toast your gluten-free bread and slice the avocado. Finally, when your bread is toasted, and your egg is ready: put some salted butter on your bread, then add the ham, egg, avocado and lettuce leaf. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the second slice. And hope here’s your super sand
Tuesday: Brioche with jam and fresh grapefruit juice.
For a gluten-free brioche recipe, click here. Try making your own jam, or take one that’s not too sweet. It’s important not to give your body too much “bad” sugar in the morning, otherwise it will tire faster to digest and you’ll get hungry quicker.
Then, of course, make a nice fresh grapefruit juice, and if you don’t like it too much when it’s bitter, add half a banana – it’s really good.
Wednesday: Sheep’s milk yoghurt with homemade gluten-free museli and fresh fruit with kiwi, banana and basil
To make your homemade gluten-free museli, you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon millet flakes
- 1 half tablespoon puffed rice
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon cashews
- 1 tablespoon almonds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon and/or honey (optional)
- 1 ewe’s milk yoghurt
- Fresh seasonal fruit
Very simple: take a bowl, put your yoghurt in first, then add all the cereals, finely chopped fruit, cinnamon and honey, and enjoy! Not too complicated, is it?
For your juice, blend half a banana, a kiwi, add a little coconut milk with fresh basil, and 2 ice cubes!
Thursday: French toast with seasonal fruit and a berry smoothie
For the French toast recipe, click here! For your juice, it’s easy: just use seasonal red fruit, add 2 ice cubes, blend well and you’re done!
Friday: Banana and cinnamon omelette with orange juice
It may sound strange, but trust me, it’s delicious and super healthy! So, for this, you’re going to need:
- 1 half banana
- 1 egg
- 1 slice gluten-free bread
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- 2 oranges for your juice
So, once again, this is a really simple and delicious recipe! Take a bowl, mash your banana. Then add the egg and cinnamon: mix well to blend everything together. When your preparation is ready, heat a frying pan with a little butter, and when it’s hot, cook your omelette! Tadaaaa! Toast a slice of gluten-free bread and enjoy!
Don’t forget your fresh orange juice, it’s important!
Saturday: The famous avocado toast, smoked salmon and a fresh apple-fennel-lemon juice.
For your juice: you’ll need half a fennel, half an apple and half a lemon. Blend with 2 ice cubes! Hummm, you’ll see it’s perfect with avocado toast.
For your avocado toast, you’ll need :
- 1 half avocado
- 1 slice smoked salmon (if you’re vegetarian, use 1 whole avocado)
- A few squares of feta cheese (the quantity is up to you, depending on your tastes) (if you’re vegan, you can use tofu)
- 1 half lemon
- 1 small spring onion
- 1 pinch paprika
- One egg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Avocado: some people prefer crushed avocado, I prefer sliced. The choice is yours. If you want to mash it, use a little olive oil and lemon.
When your avocado is ready, prepare your feta: put it in a bowl, and mix with a little pepper, paprika and a teaspoon of olive oil. Crush and mix!
Finally: on a slice of toast, start by placing the slice of salmon with a little lemon juice, then the avocado, then the feta, and finally the spring onions, cut into thin strips. (If you like, you can add a poached egg, which is really not bad!)
Sunday is brunch!
So two dishes are on the menu: gluten-free pancakes, and my specialty: fried eggs with vegetables and garlic (yes, yes, I said garlic: it’s very good for you).
So, for the pancakes, the recipe is right here
For the vegetable fried eggs, here’s what you’ll need for 2 people:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tomato
- 8 beautiful mushrooms
- 6 small squares of feta cheese
- 1 garlic clove
- parsley
- 4 heads broccoli
- salt and pepper
Once again, nothing too complicated: chop your tomatoes, mushrooms and garlic. Heat a frying pan with olive oil. Sauté the garlic, then add the tomato, mushrooms and broccoli heads (cooked). Cook for 5 min over low heat. Add a little parsley, salt and pepper, and cook on a low heat with a lid for a further 5 minutes. When everything’s ready, set aside.
Next, take another frying pan and make your fried eggs. When they’re cooked through, surround them with your first mixture. Cover and cook over low heat for a good 5 minutes. Finally, add a little parsley and your feta cheese squares.
And there you have it!
Don’t forget to make yourself a little fruit salad on the side!
Bon appétit, and have a great day! I hope you’ve enjoyed these gluten-free breakfast ideas!
