We all know how important it is to start your day off with some protein. Doing so can reduce hunger cravings throughout the day and give you the energy you need to get things done! But while we totally love eggs, some days simply call for an egg-free breakfast – anyone that gets the egg ick understands this. 😵💫
It's an especially helpful concept to prepare egg-free breakfasts right now, as we're (sadly) experiencing an egg shortage in the wake of bird flu.
Whether you're looking for a gluten-free breakfast, vegan morning meals, or Paleo-friendly alternatives, we've got an eggless option for you below.
Check out 15 of our favorite protein-packed, completely egg-free breakfast ideas!

Some desserts are timeless classics (looking at you, cookies and brownies), while others have truly faded into nostalgia territory. From over-the-top gelatin molds to fruity treats that peaked decades ago, certain sweets just don’t have the same appeal they once did.
If you’ve ever wondered which desserts are clinging to the past (and which ones you should definitely reconsider making in today's age), it’s time to take a deliciously nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Scroll on for 8 "old school" desserts that have lost their sweet charm.
مآمثلي آحد / PEXELS
1. Baked Alaska
This extravagant dessert featuring ice cream encased in cake and meringue was once a total showstopper at fine dining establishments. However, its complexity along with the rise of simpler, more modern frozen desserts has led it to fade from the dessert zeitgeist. It’s also quite tricky to prepare at home yourself, requiring careful timing and a quick broil – all without melting the ice cream inside.
2. Ambrosia
Ambrosia was a true staple of mid-century American potlucks. It’s essentially a fruit salad mixed with canned mandarin oranges, pineapples, marshmallows, and coconut, often held together with whipped cream or (shudders) mayonnaise. It has fallen out of favor due to its heavy reliance on processed ingredients and a shift toward fresher, less-sugary desserts.3. Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Oh, so retro! This buttery cake prepped with caramelized pineapple rings and maraschino cherries on top was wildly popular in the 1950s and ‘60s, but isn’t too hot anymore since most dessert recipes these days tend to rely on less-processed, canned ingredients. At least it looks cool!4. Jell-O Salad
As another mid-century favorite, Jell-O salad combined flavored gelatin with a mix of fruits, marshmallows, and sometimes even vegetables like shredded carrots or olives (what the?!). Once an undeniable go-to for dinner parties and church potlucks, it’s now really seen as an oddity due to its artificial flavors, wobbly texture, and unconventional ingredient pairings.
5. Chess Pie
Chess Pie is a simple (and very sweet) Southern dessert made from eggs, sugar, butter, and vinegar or lemon juice. It also boasts a rich, custard-like filling! While it still has a niche following, it has been overshadowed by trendier, more visually appealing pies like salted caramel or chocolate silk.
Felicity Tai / PEXELS
6. Fruit Cake
There was once a time where you couldn’t go wrong with fruit cake. This holiday staple, oftentimes packed with candied fruits and nuts, has earned a reputation for being overly-dense and cloyingly sweet. It’s also commonly mocked for its long shelf life and dry texture, making it more of a novelty than an actual dessert.7. Watergate Salad
A wacky creation of the 1970s, this pastel-green dessert featured pistachio pudding mix, Cool Whip, crushed pineapple, marshmallows, and nuts. Though it was once pretty trendy for the times, its artificial flavors and processed ingredients make it feel super outdated in today’s era of more natural, whole-food desserts.
Markus Spiske / PEXELS
8. Rice Pudding
You don’t see this one too much anymore. While rice pudding was once pretty common, it has become eclipsed by trendier desserts like crème brûlée or mousse. Its soft, slightly mushy texture and simple ingredients may feel too plain for modern dessert lovers seeking more complex flavors and textures.

Lulus
Nadra Light Blue Satin Jacquard One-Shoulder Maxi Dress
I've been obsessed with jacquard lately, and it works so well with this powder blue. The balance of the one shoulder and the side slit on either side of the dress adds the perfect symmetry to what may be considered asymmetrical look, too!
Anthropologie

Big fan of How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days? This is the dress for you. Plus, Timothée Chalamet reminded us how amazing butter yellow still looks on the Oscars red carpet this year!

Nordstrom
Adrianna Papell Foiled Trumpet Gown
Okay, you may think, "Hm...this is basically the butter yellow dress you dropped in above," but you would be wrong. The foiled pattern on this dress add a unique elegance to the look that definitely differentiates it from the other gown. Plus, a halter top is so springy — I can't help but have more than one in this roundup!
