“You ate what!? For breakfast?!?!?” Yep, I have been getting that a lot lately… something about telling people that you enjoy eating butternut squash for breakfast just doesn’t sound like your typical morning pick-me-up. Well I can say this – if you haven’t tried it you are seriously missing out!
Just because the Whole30 excludes dairy, grains, and sugar, doesn’t mean that your Whole30 breakfasts need to lack taste or energy! I have loved eating my Whole30 breakfasts! In fact I love them so much, they are definitely one thing I am going to keep after the Whole30. I feel full longer… more energized… and I am not craving sugar or coffee come mid-morning. I am a fueled machine all the way until lunch.
Here are my top 5 breakfast ideas that I have been LOVING on the Whole30. These 5 ideas are simple and easy to prepare before work or an early morning workout!

I’ve taken to eating soup for breakfast. It’s so much more sustaining than the cereal I used to eat!
What a great idea! Why haven’t I tried that! You are so right… I love having a warm breakfast… so I will definitely be trying soup ASAP!
