These Whole30 breakfast recipes are hearty, nourishing, and delicious enough to eat past your 30 days on the program. You’ll learn new ways to cook your eggs, how to sneak in more veggies, and discover protein alternatives. Trust me, these recipes will have you looking forward to your new morning routine!
What Is Whole30?
I’m sure you’ve heard about Whole30, or read it somewhere online. But, if you’re still not sure what it is or why people do it – here’s a quick run down. Whole30 is a program that helps you find the ingredients that trigger your body in a negative way, whether it be inflammatory or autoimmune related.
All you need to do is stay away from grains, legumes (lentils, beans, etc.) soy, dairy, added sugars, and processed foods. Oh, and no alcohol either for 30 days. Then you can slowly reintroduce each food back into your diet week by week to identify any side effects.
So when it comes to breakfast, it might seem a little intimidating given that chia pudding and paleo pancakes have been go-to recipes. But don’t worry. I’m going to show you just how easy it is to switch up your breakfast routine with the recipes below. They’re veggie-packed, nutrient dense, and just might convince you that Whole30 is much easier than you realize.

Description
One of my favorite Whole30 breakfast recipes is green shakshuka! It puts a green spin on the classic shakshuka recipe with shaved Brussels sprouts, zucchini and spinach.
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a saute pan on medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute.
Add the shaved brussels sprouts and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. When the brussels sprouts have softened, add the zucchini and spices and stir for another minute.
Add the baby spinach and stir until it just starts to wilt, then turn the heat to low.
Flatten the mixture with a spatula and create 5 small wells, then crack the eggs into each well.
Cook until the eggs are done to your liking. You can also add a lid to steam and cook the eggs faster.
Sprinkle the fresh cilantro on top and garnish with sliced avocado.
