INTRODUCTION

With the enormous popularity of the Paleo diet, there’s a real need for a wide variety of delicious, Paleo-friendly, gluten-free recipes. Any diet, no matter how healthy, can become monotonous if the same handful of meals is eaten week after week.

Breakfast is often the meal that falls into a rut the quickest. Because we’re so busy, we tend to rely on just a few go-to meals or to skip breakfast altogether. This is a mistake, as a healthy breakfast is important for weight management, overall health, and the energy we need to get through the day.

In this book you’ll find that a healthy and delicious Paleo and gluten-free breakfast doesn’t take a lot of time or cost a lot to make. There are plenty of breakfasts that can be prepared ahead, such as the slow cooker recipes in Chapter 3, Paleo Spinach Quiche (Chapter 7: Paleo Egg Breakfasts) or Paleo Blueberry Pancakes (Chapter 8: Paleo Pancakes and Waffles).

There are also plenty of recipes that take just a moment to prepare and can be enjoyed on the run, such as the Paleo Strawberry-Banana Smoothie (Chapter 4: Paleo Shakes and Smoothies) or the nutrient-packed Paleo Granola Bars (Chapter 10: Paleo Breakfast Bars).

There’s a recipe here for everyone, including the littlest cave people (Chapter 5: Paleo Breakfasts for Kids) and those who don’t eat eggs (Chapter 9: Paleo Eggless Breakfasts).

In addition, in Chapter 2, you’ll find some great tips for transitioning to the Paleo and gluten-free lifestyle, plus a great deal of information on why this transition could be the best decision you make for your health. Chapter 11 provides additional information about gluten and the science behind the Paleo diet. A helpful glossary of terms is included at the back of the book.

Enjoy the delicious breakfast recipes you’ll find in these pages. More important, enjoy the health and well-being that the Paleo lifestyle provides.
