It can be extremely difficult to give up certain foods you’re used to eating and depending on. I have personally eaten eggs almost every day for the past “I don’t know how many” years. I love eating them in the morning because they are easy to fix, don’t require defrosting or planning ahead, can hold me over all morning and are relatively inexpensive for a meal. Then there is the whole “what the heck would I eat if I didn’t eat eggs” dilemma.
All of these reasons have kept me eating eggs, until up to about three weeks ago. My belly had had enough. I distinctly heard it say to me one day, “No More EGGS!” Yikes! What was I going to do?
Sigh. Many people email me asking me for breakfast ideas, especially egg-free ones. I have promised them a menu planner…soon. I do have the Egg-Free GAPS Menu Planner available that has one breakfast idea for each week.
However, I have yet to deliver a complete list of recipes and/or menu planner for breakfast ideas that are free of eggs. So, I don’t have a release date yet, but I am planning on compiling an e-book of egg-free breakfast ideas for people who feel just as lost as I do when I comes to facing breakfast in the morning on an egg-free diet. Hooray!
This morning my husband looked at my breakfast inquisitively. He was obviously interested or maybe confused about what I was eating. I told him it was avocado, pear, almonds and coconut butter. He seemed a little impressed, but I don’t think he’s going egg-free anytime soon.
Here’s the recipe to my surprisingly filling breakfast:
Pear, Avocado, Almond and Coconut Butter Breakfast
1/2 avocado, cubed
1/2 ripe pear, cubed
1/4 cup almonds, soaked, dehydrated and chopped coarsely
2 Tbsp coconut butter at room temp. from Artisana
How to make it: Gently mix all the ingredients together and enjoy.
In the end, I had almost two helpings of this, but so far it has held me over and it’s just about lunch time as I write this.
