When I think of my mom, many adjectives come to mind: loving, supportive, sacrificial, hardworking, resilient. If you’re as fortunate as I am to have this type of mom, it’s only fitting that you’d want to celebrate her in a big way on Mother’s Day. Our list of Mother’s Day brunch recipes, drink recipes, plus menu ideas should provide plenty of inspiration to spoil the woman who gave you life.
Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes
Keto Breakfast Tostada
If mom likes Tex-Mex flare, this easy-to-make breakfast tostada uses a ready-made cauliflower pizza crust topped with unctuous pulled pork, fried eggs with oozing yolks, and fresh pops of pico de gallo and cilantro leaves.
Sun-Dried Tomato Bacon Frittata
Less complicated than folding an omelet yet just as impressive, this frittata features puffed eggs punctured with smoky bacon, sweet sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic aioli mayo.
Gluten-Free Vanilla Coconut Waffles
Few can resist the toasted texture of still-warm waffles plucked from the waffle maker. Flavored with a touch of vanilla from our vanilla coconut collagen, these gluten- and grain-free waffles satisfy without the bloat.
Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
If you’ve caught mom staring longingly at the muffins for sale at a coffee shop but she doesn’t ever order them because of the carbs, sugar, oils, blah, blah, so on… why not treat her to some freshly baked—and keto-friendly—muffins? The lemon poppy seed variety provides a delicate citrusy flavor with the pleasing pop from the poppy seeds.
Paleo Pecan Sticky Buns
Butter up mom with this eye-popping dish of paleo pecan sticky buns—she deserves a decadent treat for all of the laundry, cooking, organizing, driving, coordinating, sympathy, hugs, and support she’s given you over the years.
Whole30 Breakfast Casserole
If mom is an eggs-and-sausage, savory breakfast person, she’ll love this make-ahead Whole30 breakfast casserole.
Pitaya Berry Smoothie Bowl with Collagen
This vivacious magenta smoothie bowl stuns not only for its aesthetics, but also for the fact that it’s a no-cook recipe. Blend the ingredients together, pour into a bowl, and top with sweet-and-sour pomegranate seeds, a drizzle of nut or seed butter, and a handful of gluten-free granola.
Whole30 Vegan Buffalo Sauce Cauliflower Wings
This vegan alternative to chicken wings gets dusted with almond flour, coated with vegan Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce, then crisped in the Air Fryer (or oven). Serve with vegan Ranch for dipping.
Keto Breakfast Tacos with Spicy Ketchup
The lacy, delicate “tortillas” used in this keto recipe are made from pan-crisped melted cheese. Have no fear—pile up shredded cheese in a skillet, melt, then drape over a rolling pin, paper towel tube, or skinny reusable water bottle, then fill the tortillas with scrambled eggs and bacon.
Keto Vegan Rainbow Salad
They say we eat with our eyes, and this vegan salad is a cornucopia of vibrant colors and textures. Feel free to add nuts, seeds, lupini beans, or any vegan protein source.
Mother’s Day Coffee Recipes
Primal Whipped Coffee
Dalgona coffee, or whipped coffee, is the viral sensation that’s brought the barista into our homes. Flex your arm muscles and whip this concoction with your guns; mom’s earned a showy frothed coffee.
Keto Dairy-Free Dirty Chai Latte
Combine a shot of espresso—or brewed coffee—with our powdered keto-friendly collagen chai latte mix, top with frothed coconut, almond, or cow milk and your mom might think you moonlight as a barista.
Keto Caramel Macchiato
A bit more involved but worth every ounce of effort, this caramel macchiato copycat drink slides just under the keto wire for a once-in-a-while coffee treat.
Non-Coffee Drink Recipes
2 Ingredient Matcha Keto Latte with Collagen
Matcha meets its match with this keto-friendly, silly-simple keto collagen latte. Simply mix Primal Kitchen Matcha Collagen Keto Latte Drink Mix with almond or coconut milk, and sip!
Mother’s Day Menu Ideas
Menu for the Keto Warrior
No frills or fanfare needed for this practical mom who minds her carb counts and likely considers wine to be a splurge. Honor her dedicated discipline by taking the kettlebell out of her hands, putting her feet up on the couch, and serving her these dishes (just make sure not to leave dirty dishes in the sink).
- Meal: Sun-Dried Tomato Bacon Frittata
- Drink: Matcha Keto Latte with Collagen
- Side Dish or Treat: Her favorite flowers in a vase
Menu for the Keto Flexitarian
She doesn’t sweat dipping out of ketosis every now and again because she’s confident in her metabolic flexibility. Serve her the yin-yang balance of keto-friendly sustenance and treat.
- Meal: Keto Breakfast Tostada
- Drink: Keto Caramel Macchiato
- Side Dish or Treat: Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Menu for the Gluten-Free Gal
Gluten-free food isn’t as out of the ordinary or, to be frank, tasteless as it used to be. Treat your mom to tasty dishes that even she may not believe are gluten-free.
- Meal: Gluten-Free Vanilla Coconut Waffles
- Drink: Golden Turmeric Tonic
- Side Dish or Treat: Paleo Whipped Coffee
Menu for the Dairy-Free Female
This momma may not eat or drink milk and other dairy products, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a decadent dish to serve her that’s not dripping with melty cheese or iced with a cream cheese frosting.

- Drink: Triple Berry Collagen Spritzer
- Side Dish or Treat: Paleo Pecan Sticky Buns (make with coconut oil)
Menu for the Vegan Momma
Animal products are a no-go for this Earth-loving mom, but that doesn’t mean you need to limit her culinary breakfast options to seasoned scrambled tofu, sauteed greens, and sprouted bread. Make her something as colorful and thoughtful as she strives to be.
- Meal: Vegan Rainbow Salad
- Drink: Cucumber Juice (without the collagen)
- Side Dish or Treat: Vegan Buffalo Sauce Cauliflower Wings

- Meal: Whole30 Breakfast Casserole
- Drink: Paleo Whipped Coffee
- Side Dish or Treat: Paleo Pecan Sticky Buns
Menu for the Omnivore
Healthy-ish or intuitive eater might be the best way to categorize this mom’s preferences, but she likely doesn’t apply many strict rules to her eating regimen. She embodies the 80/20 principle, naturally abiding by the “everything in moderation, including moderation” philosophy.
- Meal: Keto Breakfast Tacos with Spicy Ketchup
- Drink: Berry Keto Hard Seltzer with Collagen
- Side Dish or Treat: Paleo Pecan Sticky Buns
Whole30 Wonder Woman
Clean eating without distractions (sorry, no revamped muffins or treats allowed) is the name of this game for at least 30 days, so show mom you support her efforts by whipping up a Whole30-approved masterpiece on her special day.
