If you're following the Whole30 program, our guess is that breakfast is especially hard. No more grab-and-go yogurt cups or comforting bowls of oatmeal. Gone are weekend brunches filled with stacks on stacks of pancakes. This doesn't mean breakfast has to be boring, tasteless, or difficult. These Whole30-approved breakfast ideas are simple to put together, are incredibly nutritious, and many may easily be taken on the go.
