If you are like many others in our nation, finding eggs at the store or even stretching your grocery budget to continue to include eggs might be feeling like a pretty big challenge lately! Many of us rely on eggs for a breakfast option and may feel confused or unsure of what to eat instead if eggs aren’t as affordable or accessible. Here are some other non-egg breakfast options to think about bringing into the fold:
Smoothies/Smoothie Bowls – Blend items such as fruit, veggies, yogurt, milk/milk alternative, juice, nut butter.
Chia Pudding – Chia seeds soaked in milk/milk alternative and can be topped with similar toppings to oatmeal as above.
Oatmeal – Cooked with milk/milk alternative or water and you can add your favorite toppings: fruit, nuts/seeds, coconut shreds, chocolate chips, brown sugar, nut butter and more.
Pancakes/Waffles – Use mashed bananas, applesauce, or flax seed as an egg substitute if this works for you and your household.
Yogurt Parfait – Layer yogurt with preferred toppings.
Toast/Bagel with Toppings – Get creative with toast or bagel toppings such as nut butter, ricotta, cream cheese, hummus or avocado and add additional toppers such as fruit, nuts/seeds, smoked salmon, vegetables or honey to complete the toast.
Breakfast Burrito – Sans eggs, you can choose to fill a breakfast burrito with some combination of beans, avocado, potatoes, cheese, and veggies. Serve with sour cream, salsa or guacamole.
Tofu Scramble – A possible alternative to scrambled eggs if you are someone who enjoys tofu. Use your typical egg add-ins such as cheese, veggies or a breakfast meat.
