High Protein Paleo Porridge Recipe (2024)

I could post a recipe for scrambled eggs and I would undoubtedly receive comments asking, “I can’t have eggs. Can you please tell me what egg substitute will work here?” Unfortunately, and as I now explain in my recipes, egg substitutes for grain-free recipes present a challenge. In the last few months, I’ve found more egg-free recipe requests than usual in blog comments and my email inbox.

Although I’ve been able to re-introduce eggs into my life (with much jubilation and relief), I know the challenge of juggling an egg-free and grain-free lifestyle. This paleo porridge offers a solution to the quandary of an egg-freebreakfast that offers a good source of protein… 18grams of protein per serving, to be exact!

Empower Your Breakfast Guidelines

This paleo porridge meets my “Empowered Breakfast Guidelines.” If you are overwhelmed with the transition to a grain free diet, start by renovating your breakfast according to these guidelines.

Your willpower is a freshly-charged battery in the morning, enabling you to make a healthy choice that reverberates through your day. With a satiatingbreakfast, you’ll be empowered to resist snacking because you’ve set your blood sugar rhythm on the right track.

TheEmpowered Breakfast Guidelines include:

1. Takeapaleo approach torelieves the inflammatory burden of gluten, other grains, sugar, and processed dairy.
2. Include colorful, low starchvegetablesto start your day with nutrients rather than empty calories.
3. Take a low carb approach to your morning meal to encourage a healthy, fiery metabolism. Carb metabolism efficiency is lowest in the morning and improves later in the day.
4. Emphasize protein paired with healthy fatsto keep you satiated until lunch, so mindless snacking loses appeal.
5. Use outside-of-the-box breakfast ideas – who says veggie soup or a savory overnight crockpot mealbreakfast food?
