So, you’re trying the paleo diet. Lunch and dinner are easy (steak and sweet potatoes! chicken and avocado salads!) but breakfast? That’s another story.
As fun as it sounds to eat a plate of bacon every single morning, even the best things get a little old after a while. Luckily, there’s so much untapped paleo breakfast potential out there, from coconut-based pancakes to veggie-packed hash. The recipes below run the gamut from sweet to savory, and from super quick to brunch-worthy.
