If you are used to fueling and filling up on a typical carb-loaded breakfast, the question of what to eat on the Paleo Diet can be an overwhelming one. Here are some filling options for your Paleo breakfast.

Spicy Mexican Scrambled Eggs

These are not your standard, ho-hum scrambled eggs. They’re sure to add some pep to your step in the morning.

Ingredients
