Ever since doing the Gut Makeover, I’ve been really into keeping my breakfast grain free 5 days a week. This isn’t because there’s anything wrong with grains – I love grains and eat them all the time. It’s more about giving me space in my diet to make sure I’m including a wide variety of other foods, especially fruit and vegetables. This little collection of recipes are my regular go to breakfasts.
Hummus Breakfast Plate with Honey Sesame Carrots
Carrots for breakfast woman? Are you mad? I hear someone say. For sure. But no, I’m not (well not unusually so) and this combination makes for a delicious vegetable loaded breakfast that will keep you full for hours. So ditch the cereal and start getting a little more creative at the beginning of the day.
Carrot Cake Chia Pudding
How great is carrot cake? And how good is chia pudding? Why haven’t I tried to combine the two before? I mean, it’s also a brilliant way of including an extra serve of vegetables at breakfast. Plus it’s filled with warm spices and makes your kitchen smell amazing.

9 WEEKEND BREAKFASTS WORTH GETTING OUT OF BED FOR
Going out for brunch is great, but making it at home is better (sometimes). Primarily because you don’t have to get dressed. And if you’re feeling super indulgent you can just go right back to bed after. What could be better? Okay, someone else in your house hold making these. Email them the list. Go on, ain’t got no time to be subtle.
7 WAYS TO REINVENT YOUR MORNING TOAST
Vegemite on toast is delicious it’s true, as is peanut butter, but having the same thing all the time can get seriously boring. Here’s some nutrient dense, refined sugar free ways to start your morning with a bang. And I promise it’s not just avocado toast 7 ways 😉
NECTARINE, BERRY AND COCONUT SMOOTHIE
It’s summer over here so I’m back to berries and stone fruit. And I’m oh so happy about. This tastes like summer in a glass… or a bowl!
BLUEBERRY AND OAT SPICED BREAKFAST MUFFINS
An easy to make ahead recipe for those mornings when you’re going to have to eat on the go. These muffins are full of protein, fibre and antioxidants thanks to the key ingredients, making them a great start to your day.
EASY NUT FREE TOASTED MUESLI
This muesli is light, crunchy and great for anyone who wants something for breakfast that is a little lower in fat and sugar than muesli loaded with nuts and dried fruit. It’s also a great muesli if you can’t eat nuts or dried fruit which sums up my new housemate and I perfectly. Instead of nuts the crunch comes from toasted seeds, coconut and puffed grains, the flavours are warm and lightly spiced and served with some fresh fruit (hey berries, so glad you’re fructose content is so friendly to me) and yoghurt/milk it makes for a quick and easy breakfast.
FRIDAY FINDS
There’s a lot of things other than food that I think about. Well not a lot of things but some, really. And some of them are even interesting and worth sharing. With that in mind I’ve decided to start a ‘Friday Finds’ series of posts where I can blab about other things that I’m excited about/ obsessing over. To be honest this is still going to include food. Just not my own recipes, so totally different right?
