Paleo Breakfast Recipes and Ideas for a Great Start to Your Day (2024)

When I was first introduced to what a Paleo diet was and decided to try some Paleo breakfast recipes, I thought I would be only eating eggs with fruit every morning. I decided to do some research and was pleasantly surprised to findso many differentrecipes that look good are easy to make, healthy and don't have a huge list of ingredients.

Although, a suggestion to you that is often overlooked for a fantastic breakfast is leftovers. Yep. Make a little extra dinner and enjoy it the next day. I know this doesn't always work though so that's why I have all these other suggestions for you.

Paleo Breakfast Recipes and Ideas for a Great Start to Your Day (1)

One of my favorite Paleo recipes is for muffins. I like to make those up one day when I have a little more time and then eat the leftovers for the next few mornings. The Paleo flours, like coconut flour and almond flour combine with eggs to make a very filling muffin that will keep you satisfied until lunch.

I don't know about you, but I am definitely not a morning person and when it comes to eating breakfast, that is whatgets left out. Not Good! I really do hate making breakfast but I know also that it truly is the most important meal of the day.

I know that making anything Paleo isn't usually quick and easy because it takes much more preparation than just picking up a box of cereal at the store. Quick and easy are relative, meaning that quick and easy to one person will mean something totally different to another person.
