{Note from Jessica: Today’s post is shared by my sweet friend, Raia, author of Raia’s Recipes. Raia is a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom of five crazy kids. After the birth of her third child, she was diagnosed with celiac disease. This discovery turned her bread and pasta-filled life upside down and set her on a mission to find out what healthy meant for her family. Aspiring to encourage other moms, she started her blog filled with simple, easy, healthy dishes. Stop by Raia’s Recipes to get plenty of real food, gluten-free recipes and much more!}
Breakfast is by far my favorite meal.
There's no doubt about it in my mind, I could eat it for every meal of the day (and sometimes I do). But there's just something about waking up to a delicious and nutritious meal that makes getting out of bed a little more worth while.
If you're not too fond of breakfast, you should be. Regularly eating breakfast helps kick-start your metabolism, balancing your weight, and leads to a more alert, focused, and happier you! Breakfast can also help regulate your blood sugar and keep your cholesterol levels healthy.
If those aren't good enough reasons to make breakfast part of your morning routine, here are over 150 delicious gluten-free reasons you'll want to make sure it's a part of your day!
Healthy Gluten-Free Breakfasts
(Throughout the post the asterisk (*) denotes a grain-free recipe.)
You've probably heard that eggs aren't a good choice for breakfast because they're high in cholesterol. While it's true that eggs do contain quite a bit, it's important to keep in mind that just because your diet has cholesterol in it, doesn't mean your blood will.
In fact eggs actually help increase DHL levels (the good kind of cholesterol), lessening the chance that you'll be at risk of heart disease and stroke. Eggs are also high in protein, selenium, and vitamin B12, and they contain all the essential amino acids our bodies need.

While the availability of conventional gluten-free cereals is on the rise, it's rare to find a box as packed with nutrition as these homemade granolas and cereals. And it's pretty impossible to find a tastier or healthier option than a smoothie when you're in a hurry!
It doesn't have to be summer for you to enjoy a delicious cold breakfast, either. My kiddos have been known to wrap themselves in a blanket and sit down at the table to enjoy a smoothie in the dead of winter, and I'm sure you all know that one person who could live off cold cereal regardless of the time of year. (That'd be my husband in our family.)

If you're not up for a smoothie or a bowl of cereal on a chilly morning, these tasty and nutritious hot breakfasts are just the thing for you. From a comforting bowl of porridge to a hearty home-cooked hash, these breakfasts are sure to make you glad you crawled out from under those covers.
I don't know about you, but nothing says comfort food to me quite like a plate piled high with warm pancakes, dripping with butter and molasses (or syrup, if that's your thing), or a delicious slice of fresh-from-the-oven banana bread!
Though grain-filled breads are on the slighty-less-healthy side of breakfast, all of these delicious options are filled with nutritious ingredients and contain no refined sugars. And there are plenty of grain-free options here, as well! So all you paleo/GAPS friends can still enjoy.

If you're in need of a healthier something special for breakfast, or even a dessert, give one of these beauties a try. Just know that all of these recipes contain sweeteners other than honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
Hey AIP Friends! Are You Struggling with Breakfasts?
I can help! I have done the AIP twice, once for 6 months and the next time for about 18 months and now a large number of my readers are also following the autoimmune protocol for their own healing. I have created a number of AIP compliant recipes for this site, and many can easily be modified to fit your AIP lifestyle.
During my time on the AIP I learned a lot, but breakfasts were, by far, the hardest meals for me to plan out. I was an eggs-for-breakfast kind of gal and turns out, I react to eggs so those for sure had to go. What's a gal to do when she's had her favorite go-to breakfast taken away?
Get creative!
Which is what I did, along with the help of 25 other amazing AIP bloggers who all used the AIP to help further along their healing. Together, we created the 85 Amazing AIP Breakfasts eBook (one of the very first digital resources of its kind). The book was coordinated and designed by my friend, Eileen of Phoenix Helix website, and it quickly became a favorite resource in the AIP community!
ONE OF THE FIRST DIGITAL RESOURCES OF ITS KIND, THIS COOKBOOK IS:
- A paleo autoimmune protocol cookbook that is aligned with The Paleo Approach
- A resource for reversing autoimmune disease
- The work of 26 AIP bloggers who have used the AIP to improve their own health.
- 85 curated breakfast recipes from the best of the AIP blogs, including 33 completely new recipes never published before!
- Over half of the recipes can easily be modified for low-FODMAP, GAPS/SCD, low-histamine, and coconut-free diets using the handy substitution charts included in the book.
RECIPES INCLUDE:
- Delicious beverages like Rooibos “Latte”, Vanilla “Cappuccino”, Smoothies, Liver & Kidney Detox drink, and more!
- Breakfast bowls like Creamy Grain-Free “Porridge”, Roasted Cinnamon Pear “Oatmeal”, Biscuits & Gravy, Cranachan, and more!
- Breakfast skillets like Sweet Potato Beef Curry, Rabbit Sweet Potato Hash, Bacon & Veggie Fry-Up, Liver & Mushroom Stir-fry, Zucchini Apple Hash, and more!
- Soups (yes! You can eat soup for breakfast) like Greek Gyro Soup, Carrot Ginger Halibut Soup, Fragrant Herb & Coconut Chicken Soup, Offal (but now awful!) Stew, and more!
- Patties like Apple Pie Pork Patties, Ginger Green Onion Patties, Perfect Breakfast Sausage, Tuna Cakes with Green Olives, Cranberry Maple Chicken Patties, and more!
- Pancakes (yum!) like Sweet Potato Banana Pancakes, Spinach Plantain Pancakes, Fig & Citrus Hand Pies, Plantain Waffles, Cinnamon Crumb Cakes, and more!
Regardless of whether you are just starting out on the AIP or you’re already into the program, this cookbook is the perfect addition to your kitchen. Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to deliciousness every morning!
