That classic breakfast from childhood—cereal, toast and juice—today would have us asleep in a carb coma by 10 am. Here are some ways to get yourself going in the morning minus the carbs but with plenty of nutrients to fuel your day.
Turmeric Scrambled Eggs
No doubt you already how awesome turmeric is for you—and here’s a fast, easy way to get some into your day. Clean Plates Collective member and keto expert Mark Sisson quickly toasts it in a skillet to boost the flavor, then adds beaten eggs.
Low-Carb Breakfast Meal-Prep Bowls
Vegetables and sausage—this dish is like a delicious deconstructed scramble in a bowl. The best part: You make 4 of them at once, so after one easy cooking session, you’re good for several days’ worth of easy mornings.
Almond Cream Cheese Pancakes
Wait, what? Pancakes for a low-carb breakfast? Yes, dreams really do come true.
Low-Carb Almond-Flour Waffles
Prefer waffles to pancakes? We’ve got you covered. We’d have these slathered with butter or topped with a dollop of vanilla-spiked whipped cream on top, but that’s just us.
Matcha-Lime Chia Seed Pudding
Double this recipe, make it ahead and you can tick “breakfast” off your list for a couple of days. Fresh ginger gives it a kick.
Veggie Egg Muffins
So many reasons to love these: They’re make ahead. They’re quick and easy. They have vegetables, eggs and cheese, so they’re low carb, healthy and delicious. They’re cute. Yes, it matters. We like making these in silicone baking cups for easiest clean-up.
Muesli Low-Carb Cereal
If you crave cereal or just want something yummy to sprinkle on your yogurt, this recipe is for you. It’s fast and easy to make, full of nutrient-dense nuts and seeds, and easy to modify for what you have on hand/your tastes.
Herb Deviled Eggs
These delightful finger foods are always a hit at parties—why not make a batch over the weekend and enjoy a few festive bites on your busy mornings? We love this recipe because it infuses lots of nutrient-rich, flavorful fresh herbs, including chives, parsley and tarragon.
Bulletproof Coffee
If you’re thinking coffee alone doesn’t make a meal, you haven’t tried Bulletproof Coffee. The super-trendy fat-fueled brew is so rich and satisfying, it’s enough to get you through the morning feeling like a champ.
