8 Mouthwatering Paleo-Vegan Breakfast Wraps

What is a Pegan Diet? It is a hybrid of the paleo diet and a vegan diet, taking the best of both worlds and combining them together! I take the completely vegan (no meat, dairy or eggs) approach, and apply the best paleo recommendations for max benefits! 🙂 Focusing on: real whole, fresh food in its natural state free of processed ingredients, refined carbohydrates, and additives.

Colleen’s Pegan DOs:

Fruits and Vegetables: Organic green vegetables like leafy greens, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, spinach, asparagus, romaine lettuce, and organic low sugar fruits like berries.

High-Quality Fats: Olive, coconut and avocado oils, in addition to avocados, hemp seeds, chia seeds, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, olives, Brain Octane, and daily algal oil for omega 3’s from a supplement or from a culinary oil like Thrive. 

Healthy Grains: Reach whole grains, such as quinoa, buckwheat, brown rice or forbidden rice. Keeping this to a very minimum, 1 serving/day max. A traditional paleo diet would not allow for grains. If you include hemp seeds, and even a protein powder like Vega one then will have an excellent essential amino acid profile while still limiting, or eliminating grains.

Beans and Lentils: A nutritional powerhouse and great source of protein. Choose only sprouted beans and lentils. A traditional paleo diet would not allow this, but vegans need beans and lentils in their diets.

Colleen’s Pegan DON’Ts:

Sugar: Added sugar should be kept to a minimum, if not completely eliminated. Watch out for sneaky sugars, even in the forms of agave, maple syrup and coconut sugar. A lower carbohydrate, low glycemic load is what to aim for. Sugar subs like Lakanto is a great alternative.

Gluten: Gluten free grains are recommended when following a pegan diet.

Dairy: On a vegan and paleo diet there is no dairy allowed! There are plenty of substitutes!

Franken-Foods: No processed vegan meats allowed! No chemicals, additives, preservatives, dyes, MSG, or artificial sweeteners. No vegetable oils like canola or safflower. Choosing organic, non-GMO foods whenever possible.
