Coconut Chia Pudding
Mix together the ingredients together the night before, pop your jar in the fridge, and look forward to coconut chia pudding the next day. High in anti-inflammatory omega-3s, this sweet, chia-filled treat is a make-ahead recipe that will save you time, fill you up on fiber, and help you debloat.
Baked Eggs in Ham Cups
Pop in a batch of protein-heavy eggs in ham shells when you wake up, and enjoy a hot, hearty, and quick breakfast before you leave for work. They're tasty during the workweek but special enough to serve at a healthy weekend brunch where you'd like a low-carb option available.
Baked Egg in Avocado
For a one-two punch of omega-3s in your breakfast, try baked eggs in avocado. The low-sugar, high-protein, and fiber-filled breakfast will kick off your day on a healthy high note.
Low-Carb Hotcakes
Even if you've gone Paleo, you can enjoy a stack of hotcakes. These wheat-free pancakes use almond meal and flaxseed instead. Even better, they're high in fiber and protein with nearly no sugar whatsoever.
Tomato Frittata
Scrambled egg, a sprinkle of diced bacon, and a drop of ghee (clarified butter) all bake right into a tiny tomato ramekin for a savory Paleo breakfast treat with just the right hint of sweetness. With more than 10 grams of protein, this tomato frittata is the perfect way to fuel your body after a tough morning workout.
Morning Protein Smoothie
A high-protein, low-calorie smoothie from pro surfer Erica Hosseini is a quick recipe that provides a healthy start to the day. Just make sure to find a raw protein powder that's Paleo-friendly!
