Vegetarian Paleo Recipes

Contrary to what you might think, you can eat plant-based while also eating a paleo-friendly diet!

Here are our favorite vegetarian paleo recipes. Explore delicious paleo breakfasts like this classic strawberry and banana smoothie, or this quinoa breakfast porridge. I’ve also included dinners (try this ratatouille!), and dessert ideas (check out this guide on how to make nice cream).

Common Paleo Substitutes

  • Whipped Cream: Easy coconut whipped cream
  • Bread Crumbs: Use coarsely chopped almonds or flax as a breading. Mix in a smidgen of nutritional yeast for added yum!
  • Soy Sauce: Use coconut aminos! You can find a description of this magic sauce in our pantry list above.
  • Pasta: Spiralized zucchini, carrot pasta, or spaghetti squash make ultra-filling paleo meals. Check out Inspiralized for spiralized recipe inspo!
  • Rice: Cauliflower rice
  • Potato Chips: Kale chips or plantain chips
