#8. Grain-Free Banana Bread

Have some banana bread on hand? Warm some up and top it with some nut butter or other favorite topping.

Need some banana bread for your breakfast? Here's a paleo recipe to try:

Ingredients:

• 3 very large ripe bananas mashed (about 1 1/2 cups or 1 pound once mashed)
• 6 large eggs at room temperature
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey, I like to use Grade B maple syrup, which has a more intense flavor
• 3 tbsp almond butter I used the drippy, natural almond butter**
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup  coconut flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt

Instructions: 

1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over two sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Double check to make sure you have about 1 1/2 cups of banana total. Briskly whisk in the eggs, maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla. Sprinkle the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt over the top. By hand, stir until evenly combined. The batter will be thick. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently smooth the top.
3. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden and springs back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If it any point the bread starts to brown more than you would like, loosely tent the pan with foil and continue baking. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Then, using the parchment overhang as handles, remove the bread from the pan to cool completely.

#9. Sweet And Simple Parfait 

Parfaits have a fancy name, but they're one of the easiest breakfasts to throw together. Simply get some Complete Protein Powder, mix it with some coconut yogurt, then top it with sunflower, pumpkin seeds, sliced banana, hemp and/or fresh berries.

• ¼ cup berries (of choice)
• 1 tbs chopped walnuts
• Organifi Complete Protein (optional)

Instructions: 

1. Spoon half the yogurt into the base of a glass or bowl, mix in protein powder. Add two tablespoons of berries over the top.
2. Repeat with the remaining yogurt and sauce. Top with the walnuts.

#10. Easy Qia Cereal 

Doesn't get much simpler than cereal! Qia cereal is simply a combination of chia, buckwheat grouts and pumpkin seed protein. Mix them together and pour your favorite nut milk, hot water, or other non-dairy alternative. 

You can either improvise your own cereal or follow a recipe like this:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup buckwheat groats
• 3/4 cup chia seeds
• 3/4 cup hemp seeds
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup dried or dehydrated apples, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions: Add everything together, stir and store in airtight jar. When ready to serve, add 1/4 cup to bowl and pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup nut milk over (enough to just barely cover, but not so the cereal is swimming) and let sit for 3-5 minutes to soften. Top with fruit if you’d like.
