Dr. Kellyann’s collagen shakes and smoothie mixes offer a nutritious way to begin each day.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds provide an abundance of healthy fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants – ideal for starting off your day right with keto breakfast recipes!
Nuts can be enjoyed raw or roasted and come in many varieties. As some types are higher in carbs than others, make an informed choice depending on your macros. When starting the keto diet for the first time, consider delaying on nuts until your daily carb limit has been met so as not to overindulge!
Nuts and seeds generally fall within the scope of Keto diets; however, be wary of packaged ones which may contain added salt or sweeteners. Due to high phytic acid content, some may be difficult to digest – if this is the case for you, soaking may make them easier to break down and digest.
Start adding nuts and seeds to your low-carb yogurt bowl or smoothie for breakfast, or make nut and seed butter as a spread or dip for fruits and veggies. If you enjoy eggs for breakfast, consider creating an omelette with nuts and seeds mixed in!
Another delicious way to enjoy nuts and seeds is in salad form. Start by selecting leafy greens low-in-carb content, followed by your preferred nuts and seeds. Additionally, cheese or smoked salmon could add additional protein sources that help control macros more effectively.
Vegetables
Breakfast with nutritious veggies helps you remain on track with your Healthy Keto diet. Avocado, spinach and kale are low-carb produce high in fiber that you could blend into a smoothie using one of your favorite keto shakes or smoothie mixes; top off this concoction with nuts, seeds or shredded coconut for extra crunch and taste! Or why not enjoy a hot vegetable hash like this skillet hash served with soft eggs on slices of sweet potato?
Rather than being bored with scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, add a bit more variety with these delectable keto pancakes that are both gluten-free and delicious! Simply swap out your oatmeal with low-carb ingredients such as almond flour and coconut oil before topping with low-carb syrup and our chocolate Bone Broth Protein Powder to give yourself a fulfilling morning meal until lunch time comes around!
Making meal prep simpler, these pancakes also freeze well – perfect for quick morning breakfast options all week! Make a batch today and store in your freezer!
Another great way to pack in some veggies at breakfast is with this low-carb spinach omelette, perfect for adding protein-rich items like chicken or sausage for extra sustenance.
The keto diet is an ideal way to increase fat consumption. Achieving and maintaining Healthy Keto requires eating 70% fat, 20% protein, and 5% non-starchy vegetables – breakfast recipes such as our Breakfast Stuffed Peppers or Egg Fat Bombs help achieve this ratio while providing delicious tasting food!
Eggs
Eggs are an integral component of a keto diet, as they’re rich in both protein and fat while low in carbohydrates. Plus, eggs boast various essential vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, vitamin A, iron and zinc! Plus they’re easy to prepare in multiple ways such as scrambling, poaching or even using as an ingredient in keto-friendly recipes!
Egg dishes are an ideal way to start your day as they provide protein, healthy fats, and fiber all in one convenient breakfast item. Not only are they affordable and convenient; you can eat one at any time of day! Add avocado for a nutritious and flavorful start or serve it alongside Keto bread to round off a satisfying breakfast experience.
Baking eggs is a delicious and straightforward way to add eggs into any breakfast spread or brunch dish, and this Keto Egg Bites recipe uses coconut flour and baking powder for light, fluffy bites that can be enjoyed anytime of day. A mini muffin pan (or two), mixing bowl, and non-stick cooking spray will all come together nicely when creating these breakfast treats!
Add vegetables to your eggs for a hearty breakfast packed with nutrients! This recipe for eggs benedict is perfect for weekend brunch, or quickly adapted into an easy weekday lunch option. With ingredients like broccoli, ham, eggs and cheese included in its ingredients list – plus loads of proteins to keep you satisfied until your next meal!
Greek Yogurt with Berries
Yogurt might seem like an unlikely addition to a keto diet breakfast menu, but with just a few changes it can become carb-free! Look for low-sugar yogurt (we love fa*ge!) and add fruit of your choice along with sweetener or flavor extract for additional sweetness and variety.
Cherries, raspberries and strawberries naturally contain less carbs than bananas, making them a deliciously low-carb addition to low-sugar Greek yogurt. Add maple syrup or honey for some added sweetness, coconut shavings or fresh mint leaves as toppings and enjoy a nutritious and delectable breakfast on-the-go!
Eggs are another nourishing breakfast food perfect for a Keto diet, packed with protein and healthy fats. Eggs can be enjoyed sunny-side up, poached or mixed into power green salads; or try an Indian-inspired scrambled egg dish called Menemen for something heartier and satisfying!
If you love porridge but need to spice up your keto diet with something different, switch out the oats for turnips for an equally comforting breakfast bowl that only contains 4g of carbohydrates! Top it with soft goat cheese, baby spinach and roasted red peppers for a nourishing yet convenient breakfast that you can take anywhere!
Chia Pudding
Chia pudding makes an excellent keto breakfast, snack or dessert option. Sugar-free and packed with protein, it can easily be customized with different ingredients to satisfy individual preferences and dietary restrictions. Plus it makes meal prep much simpler by being made ahead with any type of milk; adding nuts, berries or granola adds texture and flavor.
One ounce of chia seeds contains only 2 grams of carbs, making them suitable for keto diet followers. They’re packed with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; plus they contain antioxidants that may protect against disease while slowing aging.
Chia seeds do contain some carbohydrates, but their high fiber content helps your body absorb them slowly. Furthermore, these seeds have many health advantages including supporting weight loss, reducing inflammation and improving skin health.
To create keto chia pudding, simply combine chia seeds, your chosen milk, and low-carb sweetener in a bowl and stir to mix. Leave to sit in the fridge for several hours or overnight so that it sets before stirring again right before serving to remove any clumps or adjust sweetness levels as necessary.
Add an extra boost of flavor to your chia pudding by adding one tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder before refrigerating, topping with almond slices and dark chocolate chips, or try mixing pumpkin puree and cinnamon for an autumn-inspired dessert! For a creamy keto version, consider mixing in heavy cream or coconut milk instead!
