Breakfast is often the cornerstone of starting your day right and providing energy-packed nutrition to start your day right. A keto breakfast should focus on fat, moderate protein and minimal carbohydrates to stabilize blood sugar and fuel your body with energy throughout the morning.
Attain this goal by preparing dishes featuring eggs or avocado. Some also incorporate low-carb veggies for an added zesty kick as well as vitamins and minerals.
Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds have become increasingly popular due to their abundance of soluble fiber, which helps you feel full and satisfied after each bite. Plus, each ounce provides over 10 grams of omega-3 healthy fats while boasting antioxidants and calcium for an abundance of health benefits (1)
Chia seeds are an indispensable ingredient, capable of both breakfast and dessert preparation. Mixing with plant milk, sweetener and toppings creates a creamy pudding-like dish – easy to prepare without cooking but requiring an overnight rest in the refrigerator so the seeds can expand to absorb liquid.
For this recipe, we’re using homemade cashew milk to give our pudding its creamy texture and neutral flavor; alternatively you could also use dairy milk, almond milk or any combination thereof if that suits you better. For added sweetness we added vanilla extract while stirring every 20 minutes or so so as not to allow clumping of chia seed puddings.
As soon as our pudding is prepared, we can enjoy it for an indulgent keto breakfast or snack on its own or add toppings like granola, fruit, nuts or peanut butter for additional texture and variety. Even mixing in unsweetened cocoa powder could create chocolate chia seed pudding!
Chia seed pudding keeps well in the fridge and should last several days if left unsettled before it goes in your jars for easy portability. Stir the mixture periodically to prevent clumping and add any desired toppings before leaving home.
Eggs Baked in Tomato Sauce
Eggs are an easy and delicious way to stay on track with your keto goals. From boiling, scrambling, frying and poaching them in the oven – to adding a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor – eggs provide you with all of the protein-packed nourishment required by a keto diet diet.
This recipe uses simple ingredients found in most pantry and refrigerator. Begin by starting with DeLallo or Rao’s tomato sauce as your foundation and adding peppers and garlic for flavor, simmering everything together for 5-10 mins under a lidded pan before stirring in sugar to caramelize and thicken. Divide among several ramekins to form individual nests for each egg before baking at your preferred temperature – using the back of a spoon, create an indentation in each one to prevent them from overflowing during baking if necessary – before topping with coriander leaves before finishing!
These tasty keto-friendly stuffed eggs make a tasty alternative to an omelette. A sprinkle of smoked paprika adds sweet and smoky notes, making the eggs irresistibly flavorful; use any combination of avocado, cream cheese, meats or vegetables you have on hand as fillings! For easy individual servings without needing a muffin tray you could divide this mixture between four ramekins before placing in the oven for 10 minutes each one individually before enjoying with crusty bread for dipping or enjoy as an indulgence!
Eggs with Greek Yogurt
Combining eggs and yogurt makes an easy, tasty breakfast that fits the ketogenic lifestyle perfectly. Any type of egg works beautifully here, while drizzles of olive oil or fresh herbs add flavor. Together the tart tanginess of yogurt combined with the salty-savory taste of eggs create a satisfying combination that’ll keep you full until lunch time arrives.
Add protein-rich foods like bacon, sausage and ham for an even heartier breakfast experience. A cheesy and veggie-filled frittata topped with crispy bacon can also make an excellent option. Another delicious way to start your day would be a delectable chocolate keto shake that contains healthy fats, proteins and fiber to keep you full all morning long!
Try giving scrambled eggs an exciting upgrade with Greek yogurt as an ingredient! Just one tablespoon can give them an irresistibly creamy texture while helping prevent drying out while cooking. Crumbled goat cheese adds even more flavor and nutrition; or if that is unavailable to you then even some shredded cheddar will suffice!
Breakfast burritos are another delicious and filling way to enjoy eggs for breakfast, making this recipe ideal for busy families as you can prepare it ahead of time and just reheat when ready. Feel free to customize with whatever fillings your heart desires; just be sure to use low-carb tortillas that adhere to the keto diet!
If you don’t have much time to devote to breakfast preparation, this quick egg dish may be just what’s needed. Only takes three minutes of preparation time! Plus, any kind of egg can be used – grass fed ones would work particularly well!
Keto Breakfast Granola
If your keto diet lacks crunch, try this delicious homemade Keto Granola recipe! Made with simple coconut, nuts, and seeds ingredients that come together in this super crunchy treat that bakes to golden perfection for a quick breakfast or tasty snack! Perfect as part of low-carb yogurt parfait or other low-carb foods!
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb eating plan designed to promote weight loss while increasing energy levels. By switching your primary fuel source from carbohydrates and sugar to fat instead, which produces energy more efficiently, this eating plan promotes both healthful weight loss and balanced energy levels.
This recipe uses natural sweeteners like erythritol for optimal results; other sweeteners such as xylitol or allulose may work, too; for best results use only erythritol! Other options may not achieve as crisp results.
For this sugar-free granola recipe, combine all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed, before gradually adding wet ingredients. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread out evenly; transfer to oven and bake until firm, dry, and lightly golden in color before letting cool before breaking apart and serving.
This granola makes an exquisite snack or topping for smoothies or is the perfect complement to a high-protein Greek yogurt bowl!
If you have leftover granola, an airtight container at room temperature will keep it for several weeks before refrigerating or freezing will do the trick – just transfer to an airtight, dark container first! Extra cold can help preserve flavor and texture better in this way; once frozen you can simply allow to thaw in the refrigerator for 20 minutes prior to refrigerating before enjoying!
Goat Cheese and Spinach Frittata
Breakfast of eggs, cheese and meat is a classic way to start the day right. Enjoy them just as they are or add in nutritious vegetables for an easy keto-friendly breakfast option – perhaps try something like spinach goat cheese tomato frittata; perfect for day or weekend morning brunching alike!
This keto breakfast casserole is an easy, protein-rich way to start your day! Perfect for feeding a crowd or potluck gatherings.
Breakfast should start your day off right! Nothing beats starting your day right with an ideal sunny-side up egg nestled on top of garlicky greens and tomatoes for maximum nutrition, complete with links (such as smoked turkey or beef) for keto friendly protein consumption to start your morning right!
Another easy breakfast you can prepare ahead of time is this savory frittata. Simply cook spinach, mix in eggs, top with goat cheese and black pepper before topping off with goat feta and black pepper for an irresistibly delicious breakfast or brunch option! Enjoy it by itself or serve alongside bread or tortillas to complete your breakfast or brunch meal!
Smoothie bowls can be an easy and quick way to start the day off right. Just layer full-fat Greek yogurt with low-carb berries like raspberries or strawberries and some nuts or seeds for an on-the-go breakfast option. Just beware when selecting fruit as certain varieties may contain high levels of sugar; try avoiding apples and bananas that contain more carbs.
