Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Wedges
Add more fats into your diet with these delicious avocado and bacon bites – they require just two ingredients and are Keto-friendly! Enjoy an appetizer that requires minimal ingredients!
Start creating these delectable bacon wrapped avocado wedges by partially cooking your bacon in the microwave until it remains flexible enough to wrap around avocado wedges without becoming hard and crackling. This allows for easier wrapping, as well as protecting it from hardening too quickly and becoming inedible!
Once your bacon is prepared, peel and cut two avocados into four equal sized wedges before seasoning them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt. Wrap each wedge with one strip of bacon carefully so as not to overlap any slices.
Place the wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bacon is crispy. Serve alongside mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lime juice or zest as dipping options for ultimate indulgence!

Almond Flour Bread
Almond Flour Bread – Perfect Gluten-free, Dairy-free and Paleo breakfast option! Easy to make and tastes just like traditional bread!
To create almond flour, start by processing one cup of raw almonds in a food processor until they form a powder. Alternately, you could blend your almonds through a spice grinder or coffee mill; though this may take more time. Homemade almond flour will keep well in an airtight container in a dark environment for several months.
Combine almond flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Meanwhile, whisk eggs and melted butter separately before pouring the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mixing to form a batter-like substance.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool before cutting. If it begins to brown too quickly during this period, cover loosely with aluminum foil for further baking time.
Protein Pancakes
Breakfast should always include high-protein foods to keep you feeling full all morning long, and these keto pancakes are an easy and delicious way to do just that. Make ahead for quick meal on-the-go or if making at home for later.
To create these bite-size treats, whisk eggs, whey protein powder and baking powder until everything is evenly combined using either a whisk or hand mixer. Stir in your choice of milk (coconut milk, regular dairy milk or half and half), plus melted butter as desired.
Baking powder helps pancakes rise and become fluffy. A powdered sugar substitute such as Swerve confectioners is preferred over granular ones that could leave an unpleasant gritty texture in your pancakes.
Make this recipe even healthier and more filling by including chopped nuts or low-carb fruits like blackberries, raspberries and strawberries – these work especially well when added as toppings! You could also mix in sugar-free peanut butter for an irresistibly tasty twist!
Cream Cheese Bagel
An irresistibly tasty keto breakfast option, this bagel topped with cream cheese is the perfect keto breakfast recipe. Made even better when served slathered with bacon scallion cream cheese for an exciting twist – its Omega-3 fatty acids help protect heart health!
Avocados, on the other hand, contain healthy monounsaturated fats that can help lower cholesterol and protect the heart, according to Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health. Furthermore, avocados provide fiber, vitamins and minerals as well as being an energizing breakfast option that will keep you full throughout your morning commute. Combined with creamy cream cheese this makes a satisfying breakfast that will fill you up without breaking the bank!
Switch up your egg-on-a-bagel recipe by layering on some lox. Lox is a brined fish product rich in omega-3 fatty acids that is commonly added to sandwiches and bagels, found at many grocery stores or ordered online. Lox makes for an easier spread on thin bagel slices than its eggy counterpart, offering greater adhesion for every bite!
