Best Breakfast Bowl for Special Diets

If you’ve read my original Best Breakfast post, you probably know that I love a big bowl of nutritious goodness to start my day.

If you’ve read a few other of my posts, you know I’ve practiced and respect many special diets.

So,this post is meant to demystify and lay out your perfect breakfast bowl, no matter what your food preferences or restrictions.

Gluten-free:

You’re in luck-the original Diligent Daybreak is already gluten-free!

1/2 whole milk yogurt (eg, Fage Total 5% Greek)

1 banana, sliced

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tablespoon no-sugar-added peanut butter, nut butter, or chopped nuts

1 tsp chia seeds

1 tablespoon or ~20 raisins

1/4 – 1 tsp cinnamon

Paleo/Whole30:

1 banana, sliced

1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk

1 tablespoon no-sugar-added almond (or other nut/seed) butter or nuts

1 tsp chia seeds

1 tablespoon or ~20 raisins

1/4 – 1 tsp cinnamon for the almond milk

Low-carb/Keto (<10 net carbs):

Note that I do not advocate super low-carb or ketogenic diets for individuals with no medical reason for such a diet. However, I acknowledge that many people achieve weight loss and other benefits while on the keto diet.

1/2 cup full fat yogurt (eg, Fage whole milk greek)

1 tsp chia seeds

1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk

1 T unsweetened nut butter or chopped nuts

10-15 blueberries

Vegan
