Quick egg free, wheat free, nut free, dairy free breakfast can be challenging to make. I’ve grown accustomed to savory breakfasts, and my latest favorite is a “quesadilla” with Siete Cassava Tortillas, with melted Daiya cheese + Trader Joe’s Spicy Black Bean Dip, topped with Trader Joe’s Pico De Gallo.
Looking for a change, I tried this Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding and quickly made a second batch to last us for the week – it works for breakfast or dessert – added bonus, it’s also sugar free!
It’s versatile, and you can make whatever swaps work best for your preferences – I like Flax Milk and Sunflower Seed Butter – but you can easily swap another non-dairy milk + nut/seed butter you like. Other fruits would probably also work well. Enjoy!
