Coming up with breakfast ideas on the Whole30 diet can seem a bit daunting since you have to stick with recipes that are grain-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. That eliminates many of your typical breakfast items like cereal, toast, bagels, waffles, and more.

But breakfast is of utmost importance, especially when doing the Whole30 cleanse. You need a good morning meal to set you up for a day free of cravings and bad food decisions. This is why we've created smart recipes that turn your favorite breakfast foods into Whole30-approved clean eats. Vegetables for breakfast are strongly encouraged, but there's something in here for those who can't completely give up their pancakes and waffles either.
