A Top 9-Free Breakfast in Bed for Mom

Breakfast in bed is a Mother’s Day tradition. Here are some options for how you can greet Mom on Mother’s Day or any day you want to make special. Pick one, or go all in with a three-course breakfast, and be sure to set your alarm early if you want to surprise her!

Smoothies

With proper supervision, kids of any age can help blend up a morning surprise for their favorite lady. Whatever fruits, veggies and juices you have on hand can yield a satisfying, healthy pick-me-up that’s free of the top 9 allergens, but for special occasions like Mother’s Day, here are some recipes that combine nutrition and decadence:

• Green Protein Tropical Smoothie (eatingbyelaine.com)
• *Miami Vice Smoothie (AllergyAwesomeness.com)
• *Blueberry Banana Smoothie Bowl (thenutfreevegan.net)

*Please note that coconut is listed as a tree nut under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, but most individuals with allergies to tree nuts are not allergic to coconut.

Pancakes

Depending on your choice of plant-based milk, these Gluten-Free, Vegan Pancakes (MOMables.com) can be prepared without any top 9 allergens. It’s hard to wait until bubbles appear on the top surface, letting you know they’re ready to flip, but your patience will be rewarded with fluffy, golden-brown pancakes fit for an Instagram post! Don’t forget to tag FARE at @FoodAllergy and use the Food Allergy Awareness Week hashtags: #FAAW or #FoodAllergyAwarenessWeek #Top9Free

Breakfast Potatoes

Whether she prefers catsup (or is it ketchup?), the hot stuff, or strictly salt and pepper, these Best-Ever Vegan Breakfast Potatoes (minimalistbaker.com) are the perfect top 9-free treat for Mom to top with her seasonings of choice. She won’t believe how simple the recipe is. And if you show her how, you might get to eat them every weekend.
