Egg Free Breakfast and Post WOD Snacks



I was asked recently for some egg free breakfast options. Below are ones that we've made and enjoy. There are a few at the end that I've not made but will be doing so soon.

One of the things I came to terms with early on in paleo is that breakfast is no longer breakfast like we are raised to think about it. Breakfast is the first meal of the day, the first opportunity to fuel your day properly. It doesn't have to be traditional breakfast foods. One of my all time favorite breakfasts is taco salad. Getting past the notions of what breakfast should be vs what it can be makes paleo much easier. It's not always for everyone but give it a try. Pull out some of yesterdays left overs and re heat them, you might be surprised.

Rethink your breakfast ideas.


Breakfast Bacon Maple Meatballs (Post WOD)
This is by PaleOmg. I omit the maple syrup for Whole30 as well as the bacon unless you have a sugar free paleo bacon. They are wonderful for post WOD, snacks, and meals. Make these during prep and you'll have a few days of snacks / meals. These go great with some sautéed spinach for breakfast or a green smoothie (spinach, banana, frozen berries and coconut milk all blended).

Brussel Sprouts & Sausage
For Whole30 leave the bacon out if it has sugar. Also be careful of the sausage that you use if you are doing Whole30. This is a great breakfast as well as for any other meal. It reheats nicely so can be prepped ahead of time.

Rutabaga Bacon Breakfast Hash (Post WOD)
Again for Whole30 remove the bacon. If you don't like eggs or can't tolerate then remove those as well. What you have left still works very good together for a breakfast. You can substitute the bacon grease for ghee.

Apple Butternut Squash Hash
I'm sounded redundant but remove the bacon like above. If you like eggs then you can add to this one.

Sausage and Egg Sandwich (Post WOD)
For this filling sandwich remove the egg and just have the patties and sausage. The patties also work on their own for breakfast. However the patties are made with eggs, so if you can't tolerate then this one won't work for you.

Winter Breakfast Bowl
I've not made this one like all of the others. However after reviewing the ingredients there shouldn't be any reason why this why this one doesn't taste great. I'll be adding this to our 'to make' list.

Bananas and Cream Paleo Oatmeal
This is another one I've not made but will be soon. We've made another banana oatmeal that was wonderful. Again all the ingredients are good so it should be yummy!

Create your own breakfast skillet
This link gives you some great ideas on different things to put together in your own egg free skillet. Pick and choose to create your own.

More Post WOD options:

Sweet Potato Latkes
You can pre make these and add meatballs or another meat of your choice.

Sweet Potato Hash
This is one of the first paleo meals we made and is still a favorite. Make a batch of this and your are good for the week!

Jicama & Meatballs

Baked parsnip cubes and meat of your choice

One last thing to wrap up this post. I found this listing of starchy paleo carbs to help you out when selecting what to make for your post WOD snacks. You'll want a starchy card and protein. The options are endless!

Enjoy!
