Let's face it: Breakfast can fall into a real rut sometimes. And while almost anything can become a picture-perfect breakfast with the addition of a runny-yolked egg ("Put an egg on it!") what if you want to branch out and leave eggs behind? Maybe the grains, too? No grains, no eggs — what's left? Quite a lot, actually — starting with this heavenly avocado pudding. Read on for this and 9 more breakfasts that take a break from grains and eggs.
- Avocado Breakfast Pudding - A quick, easy, and delicious way to eat avocado for breakfast.
- Superpower Morning Smoothie - Smoothies are a broad category of breakfasts that help you get your fruits and vegetables by the fistful.
- The Breakfast Salad - Salad is delicious for breakfast, especially when it has a bit of fat from prosciutto and avocado, like this one.
- Banana Split with Yogurt and Jam - Banana, Greek yogurt, some nuts for extra protein, and you have a fun morning banana split.
- Make Your Own Fruit-on-the-Bottom Yogurt Cups - Make your own yogurt cups with plain yogurt, fresh fruit, or even swirls of cooked spinach and toasted nuts.
- Southwestern Tofu Scramble - Skip the eggs and go with silky, savory tofu instead.
- How to Make Diner-Style Hash Browns - Potatoes have a healthy dose of Vitamin C and hash browns are a treat, especially when served a green salad.
- Warm Chickpea Salad with Cumin & Garlic - This lunch salad also makes a hearty, easy-to-pack breakfast.
- Sweet Potato Hash with Caramelized Onions, Sausage - I really adore sweet potatoes for breakfast. This one is packed with savory flavor from the caramelized onions and sausage - an egg really isn't necessary.
- Miso Soup for Breakfast - A classic Japanese breakfast, warm and comforting.
And then of course there are so many other more casual breakfast idea, like a simple piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, or a big bowl of last night's leftover bean chili (I really love eating beans in the morning — so much protein!). What other breakfasts without grains and eggs do you like?

100 DIY Ideas for the 3-Day Weekend
Danielle's Charming, Classic Walk-Up
These are great! I like to wrap avocado slices in bacon and bake at 375 for 15 minutes. It helps if you have toothpicks to keep them together.
my favorite breakfast is "pumpkin pie in a bowl"-- plain greek yogurt, canned pumpkin, nuts, cinnamon and agave/maple syrup/honey to taste
You forgot just eating a handful of bacon.
I just recently bought an ebook called Awaken: 30+ Egg-Free and Grain-Free Breakfasts by Karen Sorenson. This particular combination of diet preferences/requirements can be tough to work with, but Karen provides lots of great ideas!
Avocado smash... avocado, marinated fetta, coriander, lemon juice, chilli flakes, crack of pepper & mix roughly together (but we usually eat on top of toasted crusty bread) sooo very good and filling and so quick and easy.
Well, not for breakfast, but my husband's family often puts slices of avocado into their bowls of chicken soup, along with a bit of lemon/lime juice.
I know, sounds odd, but the smoothness of the avocado and the flavors of the soup go really well together.
I'd love to see more posts like this. I have an egg allergy but I also don't really enjoy eating oatmeal and such for breakfasts. Thanks for the post!
I love making this sweet potato torte on the weekend and having a big slice for breakfast all week long. http://kaleeats.blogspot.ca/2012/05/sweet-potato-torte.html Tastes great at room temperature and can "almost" be eaten like a slice of pizza
Brown rice pudding. Mix 3 cups of precooked rice, 1-1/2 cup of rice, almond or coconut milk, 3/4 cup of raisins, 1 chopped apple, 1 tsp of cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour. Can make ahead and reheat.
Forget eggs and grains. I personally won't miss them with a good Potato hash on my plate. :) I like how some of these has become healthier tool.
My absolute favorite breakfast is the magical combination of bacon, avocado and grapefruit.
There is actually a great little e-book out that I have that has a whole bunch of grain-free, egg-free breakfast options (that's what the whole book is dedicated to.) You can check it out/ buy here: http://bit.ly/Zh4W1L
argh, hash browns! One of the last great kitchen hurdles for me. I can never get them to stay together in the little patties and I always burn them so bad. I've tried so many tips from people who make great hashbrowns. Obviously, it's me doing something wrong. :(
