Gluten Free Power Breakfast



This is what I've gone back to eating this year to boost my health again. I lose weight when I eat proper amounts of vegetables and fruits. Want to lose weight and NOT feel hungry? Add vegetables.

It's a flexible recipe. The non negotiable are brown rice cakes, sauteed fresh spinach & a scrambled egg. Anything else is just extras depending upon what I have around. My favorite version of this contains tomatoes, sweet mild peppers and avocado on top.

It's quick, it's easy. It makes the same amount, two, as seen in the photo. In a tiny amount of olive oil saute down two handfuls of fresh spinach. I usually add a little garlic to the spinach. Layer the spinach on the brown rice cakes, scramble an egg and layer it over the spinach. You can add a tiny amount of cheese or sliced tomatoes, peppers, avocado or any type of veggie you fancy.

I know many people go with things like oatmeal when dieting but oatmeal is tricky for people with gluten intolerance. Gluten Free oatmeal options are limited to Bob's Red Mill or one of the GF instant options that are loaded with sugar. For me oatmeal doesn't last, it makes me so super hungry before lunchtime that it sabotages my attempts to not eat between meals. I have found I need the protein of an egg in the morning. Find what works for you in the morning that's gluten free.
