  • Puddings (chia seed puddings, ‘oatmeal’, berry puddings, coconut creams)
  • Smoothie bowls
  • Breakfast cookies, fat bombs, or brownies
  • Waffles
  • Pancakes, crepes
  • Muffins, rolls
  • Cauliflower bakes (hash browns, casseroles)
  • Eggs, any style
  • Ham, bacon, chicken, salmon, tuna, and other grilled meats or fish
