Sick of eggs? Try these 3 breakfast recipes

Although eggs may be the healthiest breakfast option, you can certainly over do them. In fact, some people don’t eat them at all. You may be vegan, follow an anti-inflammatory diet or, let’s face it, just feel like pancakes. If you’re the one of the first two, check out the egg-free breakfast hash below. If you’re the latter, here are three delicious and nutritious breakfast recipes, courtesy of The Real Food Athlete cookbook by Steph Lowe, for those times when you’re all yolked out.
