What approximate quantities of each food (and beverage) will we eat?

Design a pre-workout brunch for my friend Coralie and me.

Scenario: Coralie is a professional ballet dancer, and it happens that her company rehearses in the dance center in my neighborhood, so we agree to get together to share a pre-exercise brunch before she has a long practice and I go for a long bike ride in the hills. (Aerobic + endurance!)

Please design a meal that Coralie and I can share — this means one meal that we both eat, not two separate meals — for our pre-exercise brunch that meets both our (1) pre-exercise needs and (2) also respects our dietary limitations as specified below. Please explain why you chose each food or beverage, and specify the approximate portion size, energy content (in kcal) and why you chose that quantity.

Dietary limitations: Coralie is allergic to nuts, including peanuts, as well as lactose-intolerant and has celiac disease. I’m a lacto-ovo vegetarian (not vegan).

In your post please include all of the following:

What foods (and beverages) do you include in the brunch meal that Coralie and I will share?
What approximate quantities of each food (and beverage) will we eat? How much energy (in kcal) will the meal provide? Why did you choose this quantity?
How do the foods you selected respect our combined dietary limitations?
