Introduction
Breakfast could be the most important meal of the day. What did you eat this
morning? If you are running out of ideas for breakfast, then you may not be
getting the nutrition that your body needs.
One of the challenges of the Paleo Diet is finding a good selection of tasty
recipes. When you first start out, you may find a group of meals that you enjoy.
Over time, it is easy to get tired of eating the same egg dishes every morning.
Adding variety to your diet can make eating enjoyable again.
The Paleo Diet is based on the diets of our early ancestors. It is not an overly
complicated concept. You just need to avoid eating certain foods that they would
not have had access to, such as dairy products, grains, and processed foods.
30 Easy to Prepare Paleo Breakfast Recipes
Whether you are just starting out on the Paleo Diet or are simply looking for
delicious Paleo recipes, you will find an assortment of options. Whip up tasty egg
dishes and casseroles. Prepare a bowl of oatmeal or make your own granola
bars. Enjoy pancakes and waffles, various muffins and bread, or blend a
nutritious Paleo smoothie.
These recipes are all easy to follow and taste great. With this single cookbook,
you can instantly add up to 30 new breakfasts to your daily routine. Each of the
recipes has been divided into categories, for easy reference.
Have fun making these recipes and trying out new foods. Feel free to experiment
with the recipes and tweak them towards your own preferences.

Chapter #1: Egg Dishes and Casseroles
Tomato Basil Frittata
Tomato Basil Frittata contains the same flavors you would get from a great-
tasting pizza, but without the hassle of preparing a Paleo pizza crust. Have this
for breakfast or brunch. Serves 4 people.
Ingredients
10 large eggs
5 slices of bacon
2 small tomatoes
(sliced thinly)
1 large red onion
4 ounces of baby
spinach leaves
3 tablespoons homemade mustard (or whole grain mustard)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
1 tablespoon clarified butter (ghee)
1 pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the 10 eggs and mustard
together in a large bowl. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Heat the
clarified butter in an oven-proof skillet. Cook the bacon and onion for about 6
minutes or until the onion is golden. Add the spinach and cook until the spinach
wilts. Add the egg mixture and cook for a few minutes until the egg begins to

harden. Place the tomato slices on top. The edges should begin to set. Place the
entire skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is firm and
golden. Use some basil leaves for garnish and serve.
Paleo French Toast
For this recipe, you are going to need a
loaf of Paleo Banana Bread. Luckily,
you will find a Paleo Banana Bread
recipe in the third chapter – Bread and
Muffins.
Ingredients
1 loaf of Paleo Banana Bread
(cut into 6 to 8 slices)
4 eggs
½ tablespoon of cinnamon
1 pinch of sea salt
Coconut oil (for greasing your skillet)
¼ cup almond milk
Directions
You will need to make your bread ahead of time. This recipe works best when
your banana bread has been refrigerated. This will help keep the bread from
breaking apart during the soaking process. Cut your bread into ½-inch slices. Set
these aside.
Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease the
skillet with coconut oil. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, almond milk,

cinnamon, and sea salt. Thoroughly mix these ingredients before soaking each
slice of banana bread. Carefully soak one slice of banana bread and place in
your skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Continue cooking 1 or 2 slices at a
time until you have cooked all 6 to 8 slices. Serve with some fresh fruit or raw
honey.
Paleo Egg, Fish, and Veggie Bowl
Here is an easy Paleo breakfast that combines eggs, fresh salmon, and arugula
in a bowl. You can substitute the ghee with coconut oil if you prefer.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon ghee
2 large eggs
2 slices of bacon
2 ounces of wild
smoked salmon
(about 2 thin slices)
½ cup of arugula
¼ avocado (diced)
1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice
1 pinch of fresh ground pepper
Directions
Start by heating your ghee in a frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 slices of
bacon around the outer edges of your frying pan. Once the bacon starts frying,
crack the 2 large eggs in the center, without breaking the yolk. Cook the eggs
sunny side up for about 6 minutes. Use a spatula to keep the egg white from
running into the bacon too much. While you are cooking your eggs, prepare the
Quick and Easy Paleo Diet Breakfast Recipes

arugula, avocado, and smoked salmon. Arrange these three ingredients in a
shallow bowl. Squeeze some lemon juice over the bowl and add a pinch of black
pepper. Once the eggs are ready, slide them into the bowl. Top with the 2 slices
of bacon. Serve immediately with a fork. When you break the yolk, the egg will
run into the salmon and vegetables, covering the food in a tasty egg sauce.
Breakfast Casserole
This filling casserole should feed an entire family. If you are making this recipe
for yourself, make sure you store leftovers in an airtight container.
Ingredients
6 large eggs
1 large sweet potato
(peeled and chopped)
4 slices of bacon
2 sausage links (fully
cooked and then
chopped)
6 kale leaves (shredded by hand)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
¼ cup coconut milk (or almond milk)
1 tablespoon yeast
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with
coconut oil. Place the chopped sweet potato in a microwavable bowl and add ¼
cup of water. Cover the bowl and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the water.
Quick and Easy Paleo Diet Breakfast Recipes
Copyright © 2016 Cavemandietblog.com/Gray Hayes 11
You could also steam the potatoes on your stovetop. Fry the bacon in a skillet
until crisp and then allow to cool before breaking them into smaller pieces. Fry
the sausage and then chop into chunks. Place the bacon back in the skillet. Add
the kale, stirring frequently, until the kale wilts. Add the cumin, coriander, and the
tender sweet potato. Remove from heat.
Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl, along with the coconut milk. Stir in the
yeast. Then add the meat and kale mixture. Mix everything together and pour the
mixture into your baking dish. Use a spoon to even out the mixture. Bake for 20
minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Omelet Bites
This recipe takes the work out of cooking
an omelet. Yields 12 omelet bites.
Ingredients
8 large eggs
1/8 cups water
1 medium bell pepper (diced)
¼ pound asparagus (diced)
½ a medium yellow onion (diced)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
½ pound cubed cooked meat (chicken, ham, or sausage)
Directions
Grease your muffin tin. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour
into muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Paleo Breakfast Salad
This Paleo Breakfast Salad is easy to adjust. If you do not like a particular
ingredient, you can simply replace it with a comparable fruit or vegetable. If you
want to add more protein, include an extra egg. Add different vegetables or your
favorite dressing.
Ingredients
1 large egg
2 cups of mixed greens
1 green onion (sliced)
4 cherry tomatoes (chopped)
½ bell pepper (diced)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 cup of water
A dash of sea salt and black
pepper
Directions
In a small saucepan heated over medium-high heat, bring the 1 cup of water to a
simmer. Stir in the rice vinegar. Break the egg into the water and turn off the
heat. Cook for about 4 minutes. In a serving bowl, combine the greens, the
tomatoes, and the bell pepper.
Add the poached egg on top of the salad and serve. If you have a particular
Paleo-friendly dressing that you would like to include, go ahead and drizzle some
over the top of the eggs and salad.

Chapter #2: Pancakes and Waffles
Coconut Flour Pancakes
Using coconut flour, along with milk and oil, you can whip together delicious
Paleo Diet friendly pancakes. Add any toppings of your choice, such as shredded
coconut, crushed almonds, or blueberries. This should yield about 6 pancakes.
Though, it depends on how large you make them.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons extra-
virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon of raw
honey
¼ cup coconut milk
½ teaspoon of
vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut flour (sifted)
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Start by creaming the coconut oil and raw honey together. Once these two
ingredients are mixed, add the eggs, one at a time. Next, add the coconut milk
and vanilla extract. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together until they are
smooth. Add the coconut flour, followed by the cream of tartar, baking soda, and
sea salt. Avoid overmixing your pancake batter.

Copyright © 2016 Cavemandietblog.com/Gray Hayes 14
Heat a small amount of ghee in a crepe pan over medium heat. Use a ladle to
scoop the batter into the pan. Once the bottom of the pancake is light brown, use
a spatula to flip it. Stack your pancakes on a plate and then serve immediately
with toppings of your choice.
Sweet Potato Waffles
Another breakfast treat that is easy to make is Sweet Potato Waffles. You just
need three ingredients to prepare the waffle batter.
As with the pancakes, you
can add any toppings that
you want. This will make 2
waffles. If you want a larger
batch, simply double or
triple the recipe.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups of grated sweet potato
2 eggs
2 tablespoons coconut flour
Directions
While you are preheating your waffle iron, mix the three ingredients together in a
large mixing bowl. Use butter or oil to grease the waffle iron. Spoon one-half of
the mixture into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes.
The waffle should be golden brown. Serve with toppings of your choice.

Grain Free Applesauce Pancakes
If you find the first pancake recipe
to be too bland, you may want to
try these Applesauce Pancakes.
This should yield about 5 medium
sized pancakes.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/3 cup of unsweetened
applesauce
¼ cup almond meal
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ tablespoon raw honey
Directions
Whisk the two eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Add the applesauce, raw honey,
and vanilla extract. In a small dish, combine the baking soda and lemon juice.
Add this mixture and the almond meal to the pancake batter. Mix until combined,
but avoid overmixing the ingredients.
Heat a frying pan with coconut oil. For each pancake, add about 3 tablespoons of
batter. Allow the pancake to cook for 3 to 4 minutes before flipping. Cook for
another 2 to 3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. Serve while still hot
and top with your favorite toppings – such as blueberries or raw honey.

Banana Pancakes
Here is yet another pancake recipe for you to try. By now, you are probably
understanding the basics of cooking without flour. You can use ingredients, such
as bananas, sweet potatoes, and applesauce to act as a binding agent in your
recipes. In this recipe, we are using a banana to create pancake batter.
Ingredients
1 ½ large ripe
bananas
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon of vanilla
extract
¼ teaspoon ground
cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
¼ teaspoon lemon juice
Raw honey and fresh fruits for toppings
Directions
Whisk the two eggs together in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, lightly
mash the bananas with a fork. Combine the eggs and the mashed bananas with
the rest of the ingredients. Stir until combined.
Heat your skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Use a small drop of
coconut oil to grease your pan. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake
and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Serve with raw honey or fresh fruits for
toppings.

Chapter #3: Bread and Muffins
Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins are the most popular type of muffins, so it would make sense
that there would be a delicious Paleo-friendly version. Here is an easy way to
make your own Paleo Blueberry Muffins.
Ingredients
1 cup blueberries (frozen or
fresh)
2 large eggs
2 ½ cups of almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
2 tablespoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda

salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a small well in the center of the dry mixture.
Pour in the coconut oil, raw honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut milk. Mix
well.

Next, add the blueberries and cinnamon. Lightly combine these two ingredients
with the muffin batter. Divide the mixture among 12 muffin cups and sprinkle with
a little extra cinnamon. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops are golden
brown.
Paleo Banana Bread
Paleo Banana Bread has a lot of uses. While you can simply eat a slice of
banana bread with some butter, you can also use banana bread for making
Paleo French Toast or use the batter from this recipe for making pancakes.
Ingredients
4 bananas
4 large eggs
½ cup almond butter
4 tablespoons coconut oil
½ cup almond flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch of sea salt

bananas, eggs, almond butter, and coconut oil. If you do not have a blender,

thoroughly mix the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Next, add the coconut
flour, cinnamon, baking soda, lemon juice, vanilla, and sea salt. Mix well.
Coat your bread pan with some coconut oil. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes.
You should be able to stick a toothpick in the center and have it come out clean.
Allow to cool on a cooling rack before serving.
Paleo English Muffins
You can prepare these English
muffins in just a couple of minutes
using your microwave. This will make
one muffin that you can split in half.
Ingredients
1 large egg
¼ cup almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
½ tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons water
Directions

the chocolate chips and then pour the batter into your loaf pan.
You can sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top before placing the loaf pan in
your oven. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. You should be able to insert a toothpick
and have it come out clean. Transfer the zucchini bread to a cooling rack and
allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting or serving. One 8-inch loaf pan

berries. Serve and enjoy.

Paleo Granola
You can use this granola in any Paleo recipe that requires granola without having
to worry about whether the granola is gluten-free.
Ingredients
2 cups raw walnuts
2 cups cashews
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup dried cranberries
1 egg white
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/3 cup raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon sea salt

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper. Add the nuts and pumpkin seeds to a blender and blend until
you have a fine meal. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white together with
the water. Add the grapeseed oil, vanilla extract, raw honey, cinnamon, and salt
to the mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients in the bowl together. Pour the nut
mixture into the mixing bowl. Add the dried cranberries and the shredded
coconut. Stir the mixture until everything is coated. Spread the granola mixture
on the baking sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the mixture is golden
brown. Stir after 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow

to sit for 10 minutes. Use a spatula to scoop the mixture out into large glass
mason jars. You should allow the granola to completely cool before using in any
other recipes.
Paleo Pumpkin Porridge
Here is another pumpkin recipe. This time, you are going to use fresh pumpkin to
make a filling gluten-free porridge. Paleo Pumpkin Porridge is perhaps one of the
easiest recipes in this entire cookbook. You can prepare it in a matter of minutes.

½ cup pumpkin
½ cup almond milk
2 tablespoons coconut flour
½ tablespoon of raw honey
1 egg
1 dash of cinnamon
Assorted nuts and fruits of your choice for toppings

flour. Cook for one minute over medium-high heat while stirring continuously.
Add the rest of the ingredients, other than your toppings, and cook for another 4
minutes. The mixture should start to bubble.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for a minute. Scoop into a bowl and top with
fresh fruits or nuts of your choice. As a recommendation, banana slices and
crushed nuts taste great with this porridge.

Raw Coconut Cranberry Cashew Fig Bars
These healthy fig bars contain fresh fruit and nuts along with coconut. You can
make about 20 bars with this no-bake recipe.
Ingredients
1 cup dried figs
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup cashews
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons raw honey
1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Other than the honey and cashews, combine all of the ingredients in a food
processor and blend until completely mixed. Add the honey and mix until
combined.
Fold the cashews into the mixture. Line an 8x8 pan with wax paper. Use a spoon
to scoop the mixture onto the wax paper. Use the back of the spoon to press the
mixture down and even out the surface.
Place another piece of wax paper on top of the fruit and nut mixture. Press down
on the upper wax paper to compress the mixture. You should try to make the
mixture as even as possible. Place the pan in your fridge for at least 2 hours and

3 Ingredient No-Bake Coconut Date Bars
Here is another easy fruit bar recipe that requires no baking. It should only take
about 10 minutes to prepare these Coconut Date Bars.
Ingredients
1 cup dried dates
(roughly chopped)
¾ cup raw almonds
½ cup shredded
coconut flakes
Directions
Soak the chopped dates in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Drain the water
from the bowl. Add the almonds and coconut flakes. Loosely combine these
three ingredients and then transfer to a food processor. Chop until the
ingredients begin to form a ball.
Remove the mixture from the food processor and press into a tight ball using
your hands. Place the ball on a sheet of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll
the ball out into a square about 6x6-inches in size. Use a butter knife to
straighten out the edges by pressing the dull edge of the knife against the sides
of the square.
Use the butter knife to cut the square into 9 2x2-inch square bars. The entire
process should take about ten minutes and you will have 9 Coconut Date Bars
that you can eat instantly. If you like this recipe, you could try adding one or two
additional ingredients, such as dried cranberries or homemade granola.

Creamy Chocolate Crunch Bars
These creamy chocolate crunch bars require more prep than some of the other
Paleo bars, so you may want to make them the night before. You could also add
fruit or other ingredients to your liking.
Ingredients
1 cup of almonds
1 ½ cups coconut flakes
1 cup of coconut oil
4 tablespoons of raw cacao
10 dates
2 cups cashews
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water
Directions
Soak the almonds and cashews for about 6 hours prior to making these bars.
Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan. In a blender, combine the almonds, coconut
flakes, ½ cup of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons cacao, and the dates. Process until
well blended. Spread this mixture into a 9x13 baking dish and set in your fridge.
After cleaning your food processor, add a ¼ cup of coconut oil, ¼ cup coconut
sugar, lemon juice, and water. Blend until creamy. Place this mixture on top of
the mixture in the baking dish. Next, mix 2 tablespoons cacao, ¼ cup coconut
sugar, and ¼ cup coconut oil in a small bowl. Pour this on top of the other layers.

Fig Energy Balls
These energy balls can be made quickly and are good for up to two weeks if you
store them in your fridge. Eat them in the morning for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients
1 cup walnuts
1 cup pecans
2 cups dried figs
¼ cup dried dates
2 teaspoons raw honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 dash of sea salt
Directions
First, toast and chop the nuts. Heat your oven to 250 degrees and spread the
nuts out on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes and then allow to cool for
5 minutes, and then chop in a food processor until mostly crushed.
Next, combine the dried figs, dates, honey, and vanilla in the food processor until
combined. Add the crushed nuts and pulse until the nuts are mostly broken down
and combined with the mixture. Use a spoon to scoop out chunks of the mixture.
Roll these chunks into balls using damp hands and set on a baking sheet lined
with parchment paper.
Store the baking sheet in your fridge for about an hour or until the fig balls have
hardened. You can then transfer them to an airtight container or serve them. This
should be enough to make about 20 fig balls.

1 pinch of nutmeg
5 ice cubes
Directions
Place all of the ingredients in
your blender and blend until smooth. This recipe should yield about 24 ounces of
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie. If you want to make more, you could double the size of
the batch. If you find that the smoothie is not thick enough, you could use a
frozen banana. Just make sure that you chop the banana before freezing.

Avocado Banana Smoothie
Avocados and banana mashed together and mixed with honey make for a rich,
creamy smoothie. This recipe will make 2 servings.
Ingredients
3 bananas
½ an avocado (mashed)
2 cups of coconut water
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground
cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ice cubes
1 dash of sea salt
¼ cup crushed almonds
(optional)
Directions
In a blender, combine the
bananas and coconut water.
After pureeing the banana and coconut water add the rest of the ingredients –
other than the topping. Blend until smooth and serve in a large glass. Top with
the crushed almonds if you decide to include them with your smoothie.
As with the previous recipe, if you find that the shake is too thin, you can use
frozen bananas. Another option is to use fewer ice cubes. Instead of using 12,
you could try using 6 ice cubes.

Raspberry Grapefruit Smoothie
The Raspberry Grapefruit Smoothie contains large amounts of vitamin C, fiber,
calcium, and antioxidants, preparing you for the day.
If you want to add some protein
to your smoothie, you could
add a scoop of gluten-free
protein powder. Without the
protein powder, this smoothie
contains just 3 grams of
protein.
Ingredients
Juice from 1 pink grapefruit
1 banana
1 cup of raspberries
Directions
You can either use fresh or frozen raspberries and bananas. If you choose to use
a frozen banana, chop it ahead of time as it is difficult to cut once frozen. If you
do not have a juicer, you can squeeze the juice from the grapefruit using your
hands. Cut the grapefruit in half. Squeeze the half grapefruit over a bowl to
extract the juices. Repeat with the other half.
Once your ingredients are ready, place them in a blender and blend until smooth.
This will make one serving. You can always double or triple the recipe to make
multiple servings.

Morning Paleo Smoothie
The Morning Paleo Smoothie is intended to give you an idea how to prepare your
own healthy smoothie using your favorite ingredients.
Once you try this basic recipe, you can switch out the fruit for your favorite fruit
and include your favorite sweeteners, such as raw honey, agave, or lemon juice.
Ingredients
1 cup coconut milk
1 frozen banana (chopped)
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1 raw egg yolk
1 tablespoon raw honey
Directions
Simply combine all the ingredients in
a blend and blend until smooth. Serve
immediately in a tall glass.
This is a basic Paleo smoothie. The banana is the base that helps create a
creamy smoothie. This can be replaced with avocado. The berries can be
replaced with your favorite fruit and you can substitute the raw honey with agave
or lemon juice. Even the coconut milk can be replaced with almond milk.
Experiment with different combinations of ingredients, using this recipe to
understand the basic structure of a standard smoothie.

1/3 cup cucumber
¼ avocado

Orange Peach Breakfast Smoothie
Here is one more amazing Paleo-friendly smoothie recipe for you to try. The
Orange Peach Breakfast Smoothie is creamy and packed with antioxidants. You
will also receive plenty of vitamin C and the fresh ginger will give you a small
boost of energy to help wake you up.

2 cups of frozen
peaches (sliced)
2 medium oranges
(peeled and separated)
1 small avocado (peeled
and pitted)
½ cup fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 pinch of sea salt
Directions
Instead of simply throwing all the ingredients together and blending, you should
place them in the blender in a specific order and then blend. First, place the
frozen peach slices in a blender. Add the orange slices next. You can then add
the avocado, raspberries, vanilla extract, turmeric, ginger, and sea salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Divided between two glasses and serve. If you
are making this smoothie for yourself, then store the leftover serving in a sealable
container.

these recipes a try. It has never been easier to stick to a diet than when you

substitutions and changes to the recipes that you find.
You will find that the majority of the recipes in this cookbook allow you to add
your choice of toppings or provide suggestions for substitutions. This is a simple
way to alter the nutritional content of the meal to meet your needs or to add your
favorite ingredients. You can add fresh fruit or nuts to nearly any meal.

then you should take a look at resources and guides explaining how the Paleo
Diet works. Once you understand the basics, the Paleo Diet is a relatively easy
diet to follow.
The diet is based around the diet of our early ancestors. By eating healthy foods
and avoiding processed junk, you can begin improving your health and reaching
your own fitness goals. It is not that hard to avoid dairy, grain products, and
processed foods. You just need to find the right recipes.
Have fun trying out these various breakfast recipes. Remember to continue

Recommended Resources I thought it would be helpful to create a resource page that you can refer to for all of your paleo information and recipe needs. Enjoy!
Paleo Cookbooks - PaleoHacks Cookbook: The PaleoHacks Cookbook is much more than a
cookbook. The bonus materials that come along with it make it an entire
step-by-step guide for transitioning and maintaining a Paleo Diet.
- Against All Grain, Danielle Walker: Great book for converting some of your
pre-Paleo favs to a delicious Paleo compliant meal from an author that was
forced to do the same for herself. Danielle Walker has a fantastic website for
recipes, blog entries about living grain free and her other books. This was her
first book and a nice introduction to Paleo eating.
- 101 Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes, Dan Thompson: If you are a busy person
with little time to cook using a slow cooker to prepare your Paleo meals is for
you. I had never used a slow cooker before I went Paleo and this book got me
started. There were meals in it that I never even thought of creating. There
are even dessert recipes in this book. Everything that I made was delicious.
With so many recipes you will not be disappointed.
- Frugal Paleo, Ciarra Hannah: Most of us do not have unlimited resources to
devote to our groceries; I know I don’t. As a result, when I started Paleo I was
looking for ways to save money and this book was a handy collection of
recipes to guide the process. It gave me ideas for using affordable ingredients
to make something that tastes good. Very useful.
- Well Fed, Mel Joulwan: This book was awesome for me because it brought in
some international dishes. It gave me my first look at Asian inspired Paleo
recipes among other cuisines. Melissa Joulwan, who runs the
www.meljoulwan.com, hit a homerun with this book. The variety of recipes,
coupled with the condiment recipes make this book a no brainer to add to
your Paleo cookbook collection. Let’s be honest, some meals are bland
without sauces or condiments.
Paleo Research & Information - The Paleo Solution, Robb Wolf: This book gives you the science behind the Paleo
Diet and is an informative resource for anyone interested in Paleo and how it can
contribute to better health and minimize the risk of disease. I went Paleo
because of my personal risk of disease; this book illuminated the reasons that
Paleo was a great choice for me. As a bonus, there’s a 30 day meal plan included
to provide that Paleo jumpstart.Robb Wolf is a fantastic Paleo resource, check

out his website, listen to his podcast and read his books. He has a unique
perspective that really helps clarify some of the nuts and bolts of Paleo living and
eating.
- The Paleo Diet, Loren Cordain, PhD: Coupled with the Paleo Diet Solution, The
Paleo Diet by Dr. Loren Cordain is the ultimate resource. These two books
thoroughly provide the baseline of information for the premise, available
research and practicality of Paleo. There are more books out there, but The Paleo
Diet is the definitive entry point to Paleo.
