When you're Paleo, finding a grab-and-go breakfast [1] while out is nearly impossible. While it's easy to fall back on the classic dish of eggs and bacon [2], it gets pretty boring by day five. Keep things creative and nutritious, and cook up one of these Paleo-friendly breakfast recipes. From one-skillet egg dishes to chia pudding [3] and more, there is so many options that will help prevent yet another boring breakfast.
