13 Lent Breakfasts - Meatless Lent Breakfast Ideas

These Lent Breakfasts are hearty, no-meat options for Lent this year. Both sweet and savory breakfast ideas for your Lenten Fridays!

During Lent we fast from meat on Fridays, to take on a more penitential posture. The fast from meat is a reminder of Jesus' own sacrifice for us. Meat is often seen as a celebratory food, so abstinence from meat specifically is proposed to us as a way to practice simplicity.

While many breakfast options are already meatless, if you're looking for a hearty, protein-backed breakfast with gluten-free options, this list is for you!

Of course, all of my recipes are plant-based, but this is a collection of lent breakfasts that use non-meat protein sources like beans and protein powders. Perfect for Friday breakfasts.
