Top Spots Around the Triangle for a Paleo-Friendly Breakfast
The Paleolithic diet, Paleo diet, caveman diet, or stone-age diet is definitely not always the easiest on Breakfast lovers. While most meat options are paleo-approved, breakfast staples like traditionally-prepared pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and biscuits are not. Ditching dairy, legumes, grains, and processed foods may be easy at home, but enjoying a morning meal out can be a bit more of a challenge. Fortunately, paleo-friendly breakfast eateries around the Raleigh area are in no shortage. These restaurants all have delicious breakfast and/or brunch options that are more than accommodating for your dietary restrictions.
