Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast will be a challenge for most Repairvite patients since eggs, bread, and grains are not allowed during Repairvite. Please think “outside the box” as you plan non-traditional breakfasts!

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat along with a small pat of coconut oil.
Pour small discs of batter onto the hot pan (around 3-4″ around). They’ll be easier to flip if you keep them from the edges of the pan.
