21 Real food recipes for breakfast

“What part of my diet do I change first?” is the question I’ve probably been asked the most over the last few years and “breakfast” is always my answer. Starting your day with a good real food breakfast

Not only do you start out the day with good nutrition, which helps you steer clear of some of the junk food, but it’s also a good way to energize the body, which helps keep you moving.

Here are some of my favorite breakfast meals, some are my own, and others are taken from my favorite bloggers with permission.

Eggs

My go-to breakfast is usually some variation of eggs, either scrambled or fried over low heat. On the side, I love some sauteed kale and onions, maybe with a piece of gluten-free sourdough bread. Some bacon if we’re going all out.

Other egg based real food ideas:

Super simple to make over the weekend, or even the night before. Just grab and go in the morning. (Though maybe add some nice homemade hot cocoa with added egg yolk (pastured only) or a yogurt to help round out the meal.)

Pineapple Coconut Muffins

Gluten-free Carrot Squash Muffins

Healthier Zucchini Bread (whole wheat and grain-free variations)
