Since the Candida Diet excludes most sugars, fruits, yeast, and gluten-containing grains, coming up with a candida-fighting breakfast can seem like a chore.  Luckily, it's easier than you think. 

  1. Veggie Omelet:  Eggs are a great source of candida-busting protein.  Fold in vegetables like garlic, broccoli, spinach, peppers, zucchini, or tomatoes for an extra boost.
  2. Eggs With Ham, Steak, or Chicken:  Cook your eggs to taste and add a side of lean ham, steak, or chicken, as long as it's not breaded.
  3. Yogurt with a Dash of Cinnamon:  Grab a cup or two of plain yogurt, add a dash of cinnamon, and you're ready to hit the road.  You can also blend yogurt with almond, soy, or dairy milk for a quick smoothie.
  4. Breakfast Rice Pudding:  For a hot whole-grain breakfast at home, combine cooked brown rice and milk (or sugar-free soy milk) in a pan on low heat.  Simmer until warm, then add a dash of cinnamon and serve.
  5. Oatmeal:  Skip the flavored packets and buy plain instant or rolled oats. Cook and serve just like Breakfast Rice Pudding.
  6. Trail Mix:  In a major hurry?  Mix together your favorite nuts and seeds and keep a bag in the car for an instant portable breakfast. 
  7. Leftovers:  Dinner for breakfast?  Of course!  Turn last night's salmon or steak into this morning's breakfast: just heat and serve.
