Paleo breakfast sausage meatballs are the perfect breakfast option when you are at home or on the go! If you’re on the Whole30 diet, they are the perfect non-egg breakfast option! Breakfast sausage, mushrooms, onions, sage, parsnip, and blueberries make up these delicious meatballs!
Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite paleo breakfast ideas. Whenever I am really focusing on the paleo diet (or doing a round of Whole30), I always find breakfast a bit difficult because I can really only eat so many eggs. Plus, my breakfasts are usually on the go so I need something quick and easy. These paleo breakfast meatballs are the perfect solution!
These breakfast meatballs are great combination of protein, vegetables and fruit. The blueberries might sound like an add addition but trust me, they totally work!
Why You’ll Love This Breakfast Sausage Meatball Recipe:
- Protein packed! These meatballs are a great protein source for breakfast or a quick snack.
- Healthy! With fresh fruit and parsnips, these are a healthy breakfast option.
- So easy to make! Other than a small amount of chopping, these require very little prep.
- Make it ahead! These are perfect for meal prep. Make them and keep them in the refrigerator to heat and eat all week long.
- Freezer Friendly! You can easily freeze the unbaked meatballs for up to three months.
Sausage Breakfast Meatball Ingredients:
- Breakfast Sausage: Pork breakfast sausage forms the foundation of these delicious breakfast meatballs.
- Onion: Fresh sweet onion work best here but you can substitute white onion.
- Fresh Mushrooms: These help add moisture to the meatballs and keeps them from drying out.
- Parsnips: If you find parsnips are hard to locate in your store, you can substitute additional mushrooms if you want. I am usually able to find the parsnips individually though anytime during the year.
- Blueberries: Fresh blueberries add a unique fruit component to the meatballs. Blueberries offer a lot of health benefits like improved heart health and advanced brain function.
- Dried Sage: If your sausage already includes sage, you can leave this out. It adds a savory, earthy flavor to the meatballs.
These meatballs are an awesome way to use blueberries that are almost at the end of their life too. When the blueberries in my fridge start to get a little soft, I know it is time to make a batch of meatballs!
