Lentil soup. Chick peas. Lots of different veggie soups. Roasted veggies. Can you have hemp seed and/or chia seed? They can add some heartiness and protein to your veggie-based meals. I'd get an SCD compliant protein powder to make quick smoothies with, then you can have a smoothie at breakfast and save yogurt or eggs for lunch/dinner. Also there's nothing wrong with eating fish twice a day! Super healthy and if you opt for something like canned salmon or tinned sardines or tinned mackerel it's not so expensive. About the protein powder, one of my clinical supervisors said she uses any rice protein or pea protein powder in her SCD patients and they are very well tolerated. The protein powders are so purified that they are strictly protein not the carb portion so not likely to trigger reactions. Just watch for the sweeteners, many powders are sweetened with stevia which is fine in her opinion. Not sure why you are on the SCD- these tips about protein powder and sweeteners are for people on the SCD b/c of SIBO. That was the context in which I learned it. Good luck!

I'm also on the scd. lentil falafel is a good option, but don't overdo it. consider making eggs in another form. I make blintzes using eggs, honey, and cinnamon or vanilla. you can fill it with a sweet cheese mixture, a veggie mixture, whatever. can you handle coconut flour? there are some great coconut pancake recipes out there. I make syrup by cooking frozen strawberries in honey for a few minutes.

You can make falafel from fresh presoaked navy beans. Serve over a hearty leafy salad with added cubes of avocado.

Make a new fish you haven't tried before like tuna steaks (which really do taste like steak if seared correctly) or flavorful seas bass skewers.

Make a treat like dairy ice cream starting with a yogurt made from heavy cream.

Black bean burgers layered with roasted Portobellos as buns.

Serve strawberries with sweetened yogurt.

Zucchini alfredo with garlic yogurt sauce with cubed salmon on top.

Eggplant parm with grilled slices.

Individual portobello mushroom pizza.

Zucchini ravioli.

If you have something interesting as the side the egg or fish main dish will be fine.

No recipes just ideas.

Falafel
1 cup dried navy beans (presoaked and cooked and drained=will be about 3 cups cooked).
Process beans in food professor with fresh parlsey, 2 tbsp oil, 2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp each coriander and turmeric, 1 tsp salt. Process for 10 seconds. Stop motor and scrape down sides of bowl, then pulse for another 10 seconds, until all ingredients are well incorporated but mixture is still slightly coarse and grainy. Taste and reseason if necesary. Form into balls and brush with oil.
Bake at 425 on a cookie sheet for 40 minutes, flipping over halfway through, until falafel balls are crisp and browned.

Black Bean Burgers
Saute large onion with 2 garlic and 1 carrot until onion translucent. Add 1 tsp each cumin and coriander and continue to saute 10 minutes until soft.
Process the (already soaked and cooked, from 1 cup dry=3 cups cooked) black beans in food processor until chopped but not smooth.
Add the chopped beans to the sauteed vegetables and season with salt to taste.
Mix thoroughly together using a potato masher then shape the mixture into burgers.
Heat some olive oil at low/med heat and fry gently for about 10 to 15 minutes until cooked.

Zucchinioli

Good with farmer cheese and whatever shredded cheese you like.

Alfredo
No specific recipes but you can Google yogurt alfredo sauce.
http://www.lecremedelacrumb.co.....auce/
Use 2 garlic cloves instead of the powder.
Serve sauce over julienned zucchini that's been dried for a few hours on the counter over paper towels and then sauteed for 2 minutes so still crisp.
