There is nothing special or new about this Paleo breakfasts, but sometimes in the morning it’s too easy to stand foggy-headed in front of the fridge thinking there is nothing to eat, or that there’s no time to cook. Hopefully, these breakfast ideas will save you on those days. They’re packed with protein and healthy fats, not to mention delicious flavors – the lemon from the chicken, the sweetly acid taste of the tomato, the velvety smooth avocado, the bitter coffee. It will power me through some early morning work, my workout, and through to lunch.
Alternatively, you might just be looking for some Paleo breakfast ideas! Well, you’ve come to the right place! Here are some of my breakfast recommendations that will surely tantalize your inner caveman (or cavewoman!)

- Peeled a hard-boiled egg (I boil a dozen right when I get home from the grocery store and keep them in the fridge)

- Cut up a Kumato tomato (these are wonderful brown tomatoes I buy at Trader Joe’s)
- Made a cup of coffee and a glass of water

Anitra my dear! I need your help. I was reading the blog this morning to see if I could come up with some good breakfast ideas. Where eggs are normally not an issue….I have to do everything within my power to choke them down while pregnant. I am trying but it’s pretty awful. My midwife wants me on a strict Paleo for the remainder of my pregnancy so I really need to figure something out for breakfast. Lunch and dinner aren’t really an issue and snacks I have figured out. Thanks!!!
Another healthy, quick breakfast option is the un-cereal….www.nutcasecrunch.com
I am saved! These all sound absolutely awesome. I’ve never been a breakfast eater, and now I have a job whefe I’m up very early, and never eat breakfast which means I don’t eat until noon or even later (terrible I know) however, a couple of these sound pretty simple to put together and reheat the next day. Thank you!
This is great! I’m a student in college and strayed away from my Paleo diet last semester. I’m looking to get back to it as best I can, but breakfast is the most difficult meal to make in the dorm and these look like good solutions. Thanks!
Can’t wait to try these out.
Hint on the hard cooked eggs…If you find your eggs hard to peel it is because very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. To help with easily peeled eggs, buy and refrigerate them a week to 10 days in advance of cooking. This brief “breather” allows the eggs time to take in air, which helps separate the membranes from the shell.
Steam your eggs! I raise chickens. Buy a bamboo steamer, place over a pot of water, bring to a boil.Steam eggs for 20 minutes. Then plunge into cold water. The shells come right off!
LOL! I found this page doing a quick search for breakfast ideas. I am the only one in our family on a Paleo diet and I normally skip breakfast for lack of something to eat. But today I had a nice breakfast thanks to you!
Now, its time to figure out lunch…
Love this! Great variety .. so I’m not stuck eating eggs all the time.
Monica.
Where can I find passion fruit pulp? I want to make that mango flax seed shake so badly!

Hi Anitra, I found your site and I am glad I did. I am new to the paleo way of eating. I would like to know what I can prepare to take with me when I am travelling. I am going to be away from home for (2) days in March and I want to make sure that I don’t stray from my paleo life style. What do you suggest that I can take with me that wouldn’t be over the top?
