Usually when we think hashbrowns we picture potatoes, cheese and a lot of grease. As good as this may taste, it’s nowhere near being paleo or healthy for you. Luckily Michele from Paleo Running Momma has created a delicious hashbrown dish that fits your paleo diet needs (while also combining all natural ingredients that make for a dish packed with antioxidants.) Butternut squash, apples and bacon are the main ingredients in this breakfast and, when cooked correctly, prove to carry surprising health benefits. High in fiber and low in fat, butternut squash is known to promote good bone health and support your immune system. Because each of these ingredients is so versatile, this dish can be combined with a wide variety of flavors; for a more filling meal, try combining this breakfast with scrambled eggs, or using it as a side dish for a hearty dinner!

Whether you’re feeling festive or just want a little more flavor in the morning, this chorizo breakfast bowl will have your taste buds screaming for more! One of our favorite things about this bowl is that the ingredients are simple (and the chorizo can be made ahead of time.) Say goodbye to your usual morning smoothie, or oatmeal and say hello to a flavorful dish blending the tastes of chorizo, avocado, eggs and pico de gallo. While all these ingredients are packed with flavor, Anya Kaats from Anyas Eats states that the true secret to this breakfast bowl's incredible flavor is adding a pinch of adobo spice into the mix. The poached egg in this paleo recipe will provide your body with plenty of protein to start your morning and contains healthy fats. These fats may help you build muscle and stay lean. Chorizo also contains large amounts of thiamine, which allows your body to convert food into energy, making for a delicious and healthy breakfast.

For those mornings when you’re feeling a little fancy this spiralized sweet potato egg dish is just as easy on the eyes and it is on your stomach. Skip the super starchy and unhealthy carbs like bagels and white bread in the morning and opt for a sweet potato instead. The magnesium in sweet potatoes helps you destress while the carotenoids in them work to boost your immunity and prevent your body from disease. Kelly from Eat the Gains also suggests doubling up on the recipe and making more than a serving at a time. All the ingredients keep well and can be saved for the next day as a breakfast on-the-go.

These muffins are so sweet they can even be substituted as a healthier option to traditional desserts.

Low Carb Paleo Bagels
Bagels are a breakfast staple among numerous cultures. There’s nothing that says “good morning” quite like a bagel and coffee. While bagels are not usually seen as aligning with a paleo diet, these bagels are as paleo as it gets! Kelley from Healthy Gourmet has put a spin on traditional bagels and used her grain free pantry as inspiration to create what she calls the “egg bagel.” Not only is the egg bagel low in carbs, but it’s full of nutritional flours that are easy on the digestive system. Alongside almond flour and coconut flour, Kelley uses arrowroot powder to create a blend that is both soft and grain-like. Arrowroot powder acts as a digestive aid and is known for fighting foodborne pathogens. Consuming arrowroot powder also increases your body's ability to fight off bad bacteria that can otherwise cause illness.

What would a morning routine be without a refreshing bowl of cereal? While most popular cereals are processed and full of unhealthy sugars, making your own cereal can prove to be extremely beneficial. The great thing about cereal is it doesn't require baking. This means that in less than a minute you can be enjoying the perfect breakfast. To make the perfect paleo granola cereal, Lauren from Wicked Spatula combined four different kinds of seeds, along with goji berries, cacao nibs and dried fruit. Not only is this a delicious breakfast, but it’s also incredibly nutritious. Seeds are a vital part of our diet, and choosing the right seeds will help you create a custom cereal designed especially for your body’s needs. Some of the biggest benefits seeds provide are bone and heart health, increased energy and weight control. The goji berries used in this recipe are also extremely high in antioxidants and work to boost your body’s immune system and reduce inflammation.
