Breakfast can be tricky when doing a Whole30. You can easily burn out on basic scrambled eggs, veggies and avocado. And if you’re someone like me who really doesn’t even love breakfasts… then you’re in trouble!
I often eat leftover dinners or lunches for my breakfasts (yes, that means I enjoy Paleo Turkey Chili and Healthy Crockpot Pulled Pork at 8AM sometimes, judge me.) but these healthy whole30 breakfast recipes are great if that’s not your style.
What not to eat for Whole30 Breakfast:
Since grains, gluten, dairy, soy and sugar are off limits that means no: toast, pancakes, oatmeal, muffins, and breads.
Don’t worry though, there are PLENTY of options below. I try to focus on the things we can have when doing a whole30 rather than all the things we can’t have!
Easy Whole30 Breakfast Ideas:
If you need a quick breakfast idea, you can mix and match any of the following portions for a balanced breakfast:
- Protein: Hard Boiled Eggs, Sausage, Any of the frittata’s/casseroles mentioned below
- Carbs: Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Crispy Potatoes, Sweet potato ‘toast’, Spiralized Potatoes, Baked Fries
- Veggies: Roasted Veggies, Salad, Tomato Salad,
- Healthy Fat: Olives, Avocado, Ghee, Crispy Bacon
- Drinks: We love our coffee with this Whole30 friendly half and half or homemade almond milk, sometimes we will make a Pumpkin Spice Latte or a Turmeric Ginger Latte. You can also drink cold brew, unsweetened tea, or infused water.
What makes these recipes whole30?
All of these recipes are: dairy free, gluten free, grain free, soy free, sugar free and legume free. They’re also delicious!
Whole30 Breakfast Casserole Recipes:
Breakfast casseroles are our favorite easy breakfast! You can use up whatever veggies/protein you have laying around in the fridge, mix them with eggs and they’re transformed into a new meal!
Whole30 Potato Crust Quiche (pictured above) is our favorite Whole30 breakfast. It has a crispy potato ‘crust’ made from shredded potatoes or hash browns and it’s you can use ANY veggies in it!
Paleo Breakfast Casserole from 24 Carrot Kitchen is easy to make and delicious! I love that she tops it with fresh salsa!
Sausage Egg Bake is one of our favorites – all you need to make it is cooked sausage, some greens and some veggies!
Whole30 Breakfast Casserole from One Clever Chef is also vegetarian, paleo, low-carb, dairy-free and gluten-free. Made with nothing but eggs and nutritious veggies!
Whole30 Frittatas
Frittatas are similar to casseroles, but often are started on the stove top and finished in the oven. Regardless of how they’re cooked – they’re delicious!
Sweet Potato Broccoli Frittata from Eat the Gains is a yummy veggie loaded frittata. We love the shredded sweet potatoes in it!
Buffalo Chicken Frittata from Thyme & Joy.. you can’t go wrong with buffalo chicken for breakfast!
Sun Dried Tomato Sweet Potato Frittata from Whole New Mom is loaded with flavor. We love cooking with sun dried tomatoes!
Spinach Tomato Frittata from Upstate Ramblings is a go to for using up fresh summer tomatoes!

Breakfast muffins are great on your Whole30 because they’re grab and go friendly! These can be eaten cold, or warmed up in the toaster oven/microwave!
Egg & Potato Breakfast Muffins from Raia’s Recipes are great for breakfast on the go!
Bacon Frittata Breakfast Muffins from Running to the Kitchen are so yummy. The bacon helps keep them moist and tasty!

Breakfast Salad from Peas & Crayons is both beautiful and tasty! Salads for breakfast are a great way to start your day off with veggies!
