25 Paleo Breakfast Ideas With Egg-Free Options!

I often get asked what I eat for breakfast or if I have any advice on diversifying someone’s breakfast menu. The truth is, I almost always eat eggs for breakfast. I tried yogurt and berries recently but it didn’t fill me up (though it might fill you up).

I find that people usually think fruit, nuts or a low-fat smoothie is an acceptable breakfast option. WRONG. You want breakfast to be full of fat and protein to keep you full and keep your energy up. And if you workout in the mornings or have a strenuous job, you should probably incorporate some healthy carbs into your breakfast equation.

So here are some breakfast ideas, some of which were gifted to me from my amazing Facebook community (they’re the best). There are also several egg-free options, though I will never understand how anyone who isn’t allergic to eggs would ever give them up.

You also ALWAYS want to eat some form of fermented food with each meal, especially breakfast. Fermented foods help you break down your meal and absorb the nutrient from it. They’re also packed with probiotics. I have at least a couple bites of sauerkraut with each meal, but here are some other fermented faves:

1. jalapeños
2. salsa
3. garlicky carrots
4. dill beets
5. radishes
6. jalapeño garlic sauerkraut
