Have you ever stared at breakfast and felt stuck?
So many classic breakfast staples are either high histamine or have hidden histamine liberators that can trigger a histamine response before you even feel fully awake.
Yogurt
Bananas
Bacon
Orange juice
Even your morning coffee
Can all be flare triggers when you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) or Histamine Intolerance.
Which brings us to the question we receive in our inbox frequently...
“What do you actually eat for breakfast?”
We’re answering it this week on the blog! We have a full roundup of low histamine breakfast recipes, plus some of our favorite creative swaps for people juggling multiple intolerances at once.
If you’ve had to give up some of the morning routines you enjoyed in the past, like your morning coffee, you’re not alone.
Most of our own team has been there too. Thanks to mold, pesticide residue, and coffee’s naturally high histamine load from common fermentation practices. All triggers commonly found in conventional coffees.
We share what changed that for us (hint: it’s not about giving up coffee for good). Plus, we’ve included a few low histamine teas worth trying if coffee isn’t your thing.
Then we get into the recipes.
The post is a full library of delicious and nourishing breakfast options. And we have organized them by category. Everything is low histamine and low-to-medium oxalate, with most recipes also being low lectin, gluten free, and dairy free!
Here are some of the options we are sharing:
Main dishes— like a high-protein bison egg roll bowl, a low FODMAP breakfast casserole, and cassava flour tortillas for burritosSides and some “grab and go” options— low histamine bacon, a dairy-free “nogurt” parfait, blueberry scones, and cassava flour muffinsDrinks and smoothies— white chocolate coffee, apple pie smoothie, tart cherry smoothie, and a calming tulsi rose tea
We also share our go-to ingredient swaps for common breakfast triggers.
Things like:
Dairy milk (common issue with MCAS) ➡ coconut milk
High histamine walnuts or cashews ➡ macadamia nuts or pecans
High-oxalate staples like sweet potatoes ➡ parsnips or rutabaga
And if recipes aren’t your thing some mornings, we walk through three ideas if you feel the need to “just wing it.” Simple ideas that are fully customizable.
Which recipe are you looking forward to trying out the most? Has breakfast been a struggle for you? Share with us in the comments below and enjoy trying them out!
