20 Scrumptious Paleo Breakfast Recipes That Aren’t Eggs

and

Jan 29, 2024

When you're following a Paleo diet, your breakfast choices might feel a tad limited to just eggs and bacon. Frittatas, scrambled eggs, and Paleo benedicts might be your go-tos, but it can all grow tiring after a while. Luckily, there are plenty of Paleo-friendly foods that can be turned into your old breakfast favorites, like banana bread, muffins and even waffles. All it takes is a little imagination to whip up a delicious breakfast that *doesn't* star eggs!

Just be warned: these 20 Paleo breakfast recipes are so good, you might want to make them as breakfast for dinner every single day.

Can you eat eggs with Paleo?

Yes, you can eat eggs with a Paleo diet.

Can you eat yogurt on Paleo?

If you're following a strict Paleo diet, you cannot eat yogurt since Paleo does not allow dairy products (milk, butter, and cheese included). You can eat plant-based, non-dairy yogurt on Paleo.

Is coffee allowed on Paleo?

Whether or not coffee is allowed on Paleo has historically been debatedsince the diet became mainstream, though the experts behind The Paleo Diet have since changed their position on coffee. As of 2022, they now say coffee is allowed on Paleo since it can help promote longevity, mental performance, and gut health.

Grain-Free French Toast

Grain-free banana bread is the base for this yummy Paleo French toast. Don’t forget a generous topping of chocolate hazelnut spread and more bananas, of course! (via Eat What You Love: Everyday Comfort Food You Crave for Brit + Co)

Instant Pot Carnitas

Instead of your usual Paleo breakfast meat, serve yourself a portion of pressure cooker-made carnitas instead – just skip the milk when you make the recipe to keep it Paleo. Eat some alone, or folded into your favorite grain-free tortillas! (via Brit + Co)

Cassava Flour Brownies

Made with cassava flour and sweetened with maple syrup, we see no reason why these healthy brownies couldn’t be eaten alongside your morning coffee! (via Brit + Co)

Protein Shake Popsicles

On hot summer days, skip turning on the stove to make your Paleo breakfast, and reach for a protein shake popsicle instead. Use your favorite protein powder, and get powered up for the day. (via Brit + Co)

Paleo Double Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins

Nothing wakes you up like the smell of a fresh batch of double chocolate banana muffins coming out of the oven. Especially when they’re Paleo-compliant, too! (via The Roasted Root)

Paleo Chunky Grain-Free Granola

Crunchy, nutty, grain-free granola is Paleo and vegan, so you can please all of the picky eaters in your household with just this one Paleo breakfast recipe. (via Making Thyme For Health)

Craving breakfast burritos, but sworn off tortillas? Hollow out a sweet potato and fill that bad boy with your fave burrito ingredients instead. This is a hearty Paleo breakfast will get you through your morning workout and beyond. (via Physical Kitchness)

Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake

Set aside some time to cook this succulent sausage tray bake on a Sunday. Then, portion it out, and you have an easy heat-and-eat Paleo breakfast for the week. (via Sweet Peas and Saffron)

Paleo Blueberry + Lemon Bread

We love the combination of blueberry and lemon. Sunny citrus and bright berry flavors swirl throughout this Paleo breakfast loaf, though you could eat it for a sweet treat any time of day. (via Smile Sandwich)

Keto Smoothie Bowls

Instead of being loaded with refined sugar, these Paleo smoothie bowls are loaded with plenty of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Take a bite – you’d never guess there was actual cauliflower hiding in your bowl. (via Life Made Sweeter)

Sweet Potato Hash

If you’re not feeling eggs, pecans can add protein to your breakfast very easily. Toss them in a skillet with some sautéed sweet potatoes, onions, and Brussels sprouts. They’ll lend a yummy *crunch* to your next Paleo breakfast! (via Eating Bird Food)

Strawberry Chia Pudding

Dairy is off-limits for the Paleo diet, which can be a hard adjustment for the yogurt-lovers out there. Chia pudding, a coconut-based, creamy, cool start to your morning, can help fill that gap. (via Joyful Healthy Eats)

Avocado Mango Salad

Some fruit salads can taste overwhelmingly sweet. Avoid that pitfall by pairing one sweet and tangy fruit, like mango, with some creamy slices of avocado. A sprinkle of salt and pepper completes the balance for this Paleo breakfast option. (via Sidewalk Shoes)

Paleo Peanut Butter Oatmeal

The combination of unsweetened coconut, hemp hearts (an excellent vegan protein source), and coconut flour tastes surprisingly like real oatmeal, but this version is totally grain-free. (via Life Made Sweeter)

We are all about bubble tea and boba these days. It's sweet, it's creamy, and it also doubles as a nice snack, thanks to the starchy-sweet tapioca pearls.

"They know what is at stake for you personally, and all the work that’s gone into getting there."

Eva also told her Instagram followers in a since-deleted postthat Lost River is the project she's most proud of. "There was one film I'm extra proud to be a part of," she said. "A dark fairy tale.

"I never wanted babies before until I fell in love with Ryan, and it kind of worked out to where I was 40 and having my first baby. I think I was 42 for the second one, so it worked out in that way that I had a career and then I change my focus to my family."

Ryan also went on to tell GQ in 2023 that he was in a similar place before meeting Eva. "I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her," he says. "And there were moments on The Place Beyond the Pines where we were pretending to be a family, and I didn’t really want it to be pretend anymore." I could cry!!

"And then I was 42 and I was pregnant with my second one and people were like, 'Oh my God, you're going to be so tired. That's why people have kids in their 20s.' I was like, that's the most sorry, asinine thing I've ever heard."

Treat Mom To A Delicious Egg In A Hole Breakfast Sandwich This Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is fast approaching — there are only a few weeks left to decide how you’re going to spoil the lady in your life this year! Whether you’re celebrating your own mom, mother-in-law, sister, or a special someone, breakfast in bed is always a great option.

What could be better than starting the day wrapped in a warm and cozy duvet, being presented with a delicious breakfast and a hot cup of coffee? This “egg in a hole” breakfast sandwichrecipe is ideal — it’s filled with all your favorite breakfast items (I went for avocado, cheese, and sliced tomato), and the top layer of toasty bread contains its very own fried egg. Now that’s how to do breakfast in style!

This “egg in a hole” breakfast sandwich only takes a few minutes to make, but it’s something a bit different, so it makes a lovely treat. If you’re not a fan of my choice of fillings, feel free to use whatever breakfast items you prefer — bacon, sausage, etc. Just remember that some ingredients may need to be pre-cooked before being added to the sandwich.

Egg In A Hole Breakfast Sandwich Ingredients

2 large slices crusty bread
2 teaspoons butter
1/2 avocado, sliced
2 slices cheddar cheese
1 tomato, sliced
1 egg
black pepper

Egg In A Hole Breakfast Sandwich Directions

Use a circular cookie cutter to cut a hole in one of the slices of bread. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, just cut around the top of a drinking glass instead.

Butter both sides of the two slices of bread, and place in a frying pan. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Turn the slices over.

Turn the heat down fairly low. Top the whole slice of bread with sliced avocado, cheese and tomato, and crack the egg into the hole in the other slice of bread.

Cover the pan with a lid, and cook for a few more minutes, until the cheese has melted and the egg is cooked to your liking.

Sandwich together the two pieces of bread, top with a good pinch of black pepper, and serve immediately.

A "Verity" Movie Is Officially On Its Way

Thanks to Challengers and The Watchers, I can already tell 2024 is going to be a year of shocking movies (and shockingly good movies), and that trend is going to continue thanks to Verity & Colleen Hoover. While It Ends With Us might be the most popular Colleen Hoover book, Verity is arguably the craziest, and The Hollywood Reporter just confirmed that a movie is officially in development! While we wait for more news, browse the Colleen Hoover merch you can wear to opening night ;).

Is there a movie about the book Verity?

Image via Amazon

Yes, a movie based on Colleen Hoover's Verity is officially on the way! The movie's in development at Amazon MGM Studios (the studio behind Florence Pugh's A Good Person and Zendaya's Challengers). Hillary Seitz is currently writing the script for the film, and Eat the Cat's Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund are producing.

What is Verity about?

Image via Vlada Karpovich/Pexels

In Verity by Colleen Hoover, Lowen Ashleigh is a writer struggling to make ends meet. That is, until she's offered the job of a lifetime by Jeremy, husband to the ultimate it-girl author, Verity Crawford. The thriller writer is no longer able to finish the remaining books in her series, and Jeremy wants Lowen to pick up where she left off. While Lowen is over the moon to step in (both into the job and their huge family estate), a secret manuscript and family secrets lead Lowen to realize Verity's hiding a lot more than she's letting on. B+C editor Haley Sprankle says this is one of the craziest books she's ever read, and I know this is definitely going to be one of the craziest movies we've seen!

Who's in the Verity cast?

Image via Mike Coppola/Jon Kopaloff/Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Since the movie is just now in development, we don't have an official Verity cast list yet. But considering It Ends With Us is starring beloved actors like Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Jenny Slate, I'm confident the cast of Verity will feature some incredible names.

Popular fancasts for Verity include You's Victoria Pedretti or The White Lotus' Alexandra Diddario as Lowen, Rosamund Pike or Margot Robbie as Verity, and Shia LaBeouf or Theo James as Jeremy. Without a doubt, the cast of Verity needs to be warm and welcoming at first glance, but also have an unexpected edge that reveals itself as we move through the story.

One Reddit user points out that the characters need to offer "just toxicity but also feigned innocence," and each of these actors do exactly that, which makes them incredible picks for the movie. If Blake wasn't already in It Ends With Us, I know she'd do a great job because she proved her thriller acting chops in A Simple Favor!

When did Verity come out?

Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for TIME

Colleen Hoover self-published Verity in 2018, and in 2021, the book was acquired by Grand Central Publishing. It sold more than one million copies in 2023, and has more than 340 thousand Amazon ratings and over two million Goodreads ratings. Talk about a hit!

What movie is similar to the book Verity?

Image via Lionsgate

If you love thriller books like Verity, then I'd recommend checking out other relationship-centric thrillers like Gone Girl, Rebecca, and A Simple Favor. For period drama fans, I cannot recommend Will Poulter and Lucy Boynton's Why Didn't They Ask Evans enough!

Follow us on TikTok and YouTube for the latest entertainment updates, and check back here for new info on Verity & Colleen Hoover's other books!

Your Perfect Pair Of New Balance Sneakers, Based On Your Vibes

Personal style is personal for a reason. Whatever you wear is a complete reflection of who you are, and this is especially true for what shoes you slip into every day. Everyone’s got their go-to sandals, but sneakers are an entirely different game, I tell ya.

If your fave footwear brand is New Balance and you just so happen to be in the market for some squeaky-clean sneaks, I’ve basically done all the research for you to help you find your perfect pair. This list of the most popular New Balance sneakers details not only each style’s practicality, but their personality, too.

Ahead, find your perfect New Balance sneakers – based on your vibes!

New Balance 9060: The ‘Fit Flexer

If you just can’t resist dressing to the nines every single day, the New Balance 9060s will fit right into your fashionista flair.

These “proudly futuristic” New Balance sneakers deliver on Y2K aesthetics beyond compare. The wider base is reminiscent of Nike Shox – very tech-y and otherworldly. The upper part is made from mesh and suede, supplying a super elevated vibe.

The white and cream white coloration is so easy to pair with most every ‘fit. They’ll match with cargo pants, vintage jeans, or even mini skirts and denim shorts.

Reviewers of the New Balance 9060 are glad they invested in this $150 shoe because it's so versatile.

One reviewer toted the 9060’s for fitting into “all aspects” of their lifestyle. Another said that the arch supports “unreal,” so though they’re more fashion-forward than other New Balance kicks, they’re still uber-comfortable for a range of activities.

New Balance 990: The Thrift Shopper

The New Balance 990s are straight-up dad sneakers to the core, so if you gravitate towards the thrift store (or all things vintage-y), you’ll find that they go swimmingly with most outfits and will stand up to long thrift trips.

While they were originally manufactured for running (and they still are), the 990s scream streetwear to me. They appear more elevated than your average athletic running shoe, thanks to the smooth pigskin and fine mesh.

The inside is fitted with a bouncy FuelCell midsole cushioning, and the shoe is available in 4 different widths. The range!

The New Balance 990s are very similar to the New Balance 993s, which is less performance-based.

New Balance 574 Core: The Weekend Warrior

Whether you're hitting the club or the farmer’s market on the weekends, you want to be comfortable (I mean, who doesn't?). The New Balance 574 Cores are made for the weekend warriors.

New Balance describes this signature shoe as “uncomplicated, rugged, durable, and comfortable.”

Though the 574s are pretty basic, they’re earned themselves icon status. You’re sure to see at least one pair when you go out.

The outer layer is made from suede and mesh materials dotted with 100% recycled polyester details.

New Balance 550: The Sneakerhead

These New Balance sneakers aren’t just black and white. They’re “sea salt” with “gray matter” and “magnet.” So yeah, if you consider yourself overly particular about your sneakers, the New Balance 550s are the shoe for you.

These were revived from the late 80’s and early 90’s then re-released full-time in 2021, and they’ve been a modern fan-favorite ever since.

The flatter soles on these sneaks mean they’re not as practical for running or walking long distances, but since they have a history with basketball, you might be able to rock ‘em on the court. More than anything, they definitely give basketball vibes, which is perfect for any streetwear ensemble.

The mixed materials and chunky approach to the classic New Balance logo give these an unmistakable air.

According to New Balance, these best fit people with an average arch height. The thick sole and cushy ankle padding work the hardest to support your feet, rather than an arched insole.

New Balance 530: The Gym-Goer

The New Balance 530s are giving Erewhon baddie. They’re giving I drink smoothies for breakfast. They’re giving I live and breathe pilates.

The stark white colorway of these sneakers reminds me of the clean girl aesthetic, and they’re so pretty, you may have a hard time getting them dirty.

Though very stylish on the outside, it’s what’s on the inside that counts with the New Balance 530s. They’re fitted with an ample midsole section that cushions and compresses your step.

New Balance Fresh Foam: The 10K Steps A Day-er

For the more athletic among us (hello, hot girl walks!), the New Balance Fresh Foam sneakers are the way to go. They’re designed especially for walking and running, so you can count on them to be comfy.

They have an extra-soft cushioning for a cozy step, and every aspect of the footbed is intended to stabilize the foot.

This shoe especially supports walkers or runners with the tendency to step heel first, a bonus co-signed by the American Podiatric Medical Association – this pair received their Seal of Acceptance.

The upper part of the shoe is made of mesh, so it’s highly breathable, even on hot days. They’re great for high arches, too!
