If you’ve given up grains, but still want that crunch of morning cereal
or the texture of al dente pasta, you’re in luck, listed below are 3
alternatives for a grain-free breakfast, lunch and dinner.

1) Breakfast-
If you need a replacement for that bowl of oatmeal or corn flakes,
look for the Spelt flakes at your local supermarket.
Spelt is an ancient grain that is slower to digest than wheat, corn, or rice and
it (spelt) doesn’t pull hunger hormones out of whack.
Look for the slightly sweet, nutty flavor of spelt at big discount stores like
Costco or Ocean State Job Lot, or your local supermarket or Whole foods store.
Two brands to try: Arrowhead Mills Spelt Flakes or Bob’s Red Mill rolled spelt,
which cooks up like oatmeal.

2) Lunch-
If you’re looking to trade in your whole-wheat grinder rolls and slices of white bread
for a grain-free alternative, try sprouted bread. Sprouting wheat breaks down starches,
so it takes a little longer to digest and doesn’t disrupt hunger hormone production.
Look for sprouted breads in the frozen food aisles of your local supermarkets.
Try Food For Life Ezekiel brand.

3) Dinner-
Ah, it’s great to wind down and relax in the evening to a bowl of pasta,
but that was yesterday and today–it’s all about grain-free alternatives,
so for you, Soba noodles are going to be your new mainstay.
They may look and taste like a grain, but it’s actually a vegetable.
And some more good news: Since they’re not a grain, the noodles won’t
cause blood sugar issues making you hungry an hour or two later.
Look for soba or buckwheat noodles in the international food aisles
of your local supermarket or an Asian or a Whole foods store.
