7 Easy Keto Breakfast Ideas
As you’ll see in this post – there are heaps of easy keto breakfast ideas to enjoy through the week.
There are breakfasts you can enjoy with or without eggs – depends on what you feel like and how much time you have on any particular morning.
I’ve found that with a low carb diet like the ketogenic diet, breakfast rules can go out the window and you can really have whatever you feel like for breakfast. Even if they are a bit on the unconventional side!
For even more breakfast inspiration than I share in this post, check out Breakfast in 5. You’ll get 30 Easy Keto Breakfast Ideas – all with 5 ingredients, 5 net carbs and 5 simple steps with each recipe. (Click here to learn more.)
Day 1 – Breakfast Fry Up
To start the week, I had a big low carb breakfast fry up which included:
- Fried eggs
- Mushrooms
- Leftover sausages
It was all cooked/heated up in plenty of coconut oil in a frying pan.
You could cook your eggs any how you like, fry them up with your choice of vegetables from the following low carb foods:
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
- Spinach
- Cauliflower
- Asparagus
- Radishes (which fry up like potatoes!)
- Onion/Garlic (sparingly)
You can use low carb sausages as the meat portion or fry up bacon, leftover roast chicken/meat or any other breakfast protein you like.
Day 2 – Egg Free Breakfast Fry Up
If you feel like a breakfast fry up, but without eggs then this is the perfect breakfast.
I went for a small pack of lamb loin chops, which are budget friendly at the moment at ALDI. (Click here for my ALDI Shopping List.)
Simply melt butter or coconut oil in a frying pan and then cook up a couple of low carb friendly vegetables and the lamb chops. I went for mushrooms and spinach.
So, start by cooking the mushrooms first, then add the lamb chops and a generous pinch of salt.
Once the mushrooms and lamb was cooked, remove it all from the frying pan, move to a plate and briefly saute the spinach until it’s wilted.
Move the spinach to the plate and I added a couple of spoons of saurkraut for a potion of healthy fermented vegetables with my breakfast.
The whole plate was really quick to put together and makes an easy low carb, keto diet friendly breakfast.
Day 3 – Chia Pudding
Pop 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into a bowl, glass or mug.
Top with half a cup of liquid from the following options – almond milk, kefir, low carb yogurt, cream.
I went for a quarter of a cup of almond milk and a quarter of a cup of kefir.
Add a half a teaspoon of stevia (or more) for sweetness and stir well to combine. Move the chia pudding to the fridge to thicken for a few hours or overnight.
Enjoy topped with berries, grated low carb chocolate, cream or shredded coconut.
Day 4 – Cheese Omelette
Whisk 2-3 eggs together until smooth. You can also add a splash of almond milk or cream for extra creamy eggs.
Before you get cooking, prep your filling by grating some cheese. You can choose to have just one cheese option or a mixture of cheeses for an extra cheesy omelette.
I went for a mixture of vintage cheddar and parmesan in my cheese omelette.
Melt coconut oil or butter in a frying pan and, when hot, pour in the omelette mixture.
Once the egg starts to set, move the inside set omelette to the outside and swivel the pan to cook the mixture evenly.
Add the grated cheese, fold over the omelette and cook until done to your liking. (For more ideas, here’s my full Keto Omelette Recipe.)
Day 5 – Easy Keto Breakfast Shake
When you don’t have much time in the morning then a breakfast shake makes and easy, little to no prep meal.
Just find a low carb protein powder (like this) and add a tablespoon or scoop to a protein shaker, along with almond milk and cream. I like to add a dash of cream to my protein shakes to elevate the healthy fat content.
Then, shake it up for a speedy breakfast or breakfast on the go.
Day 6 – Tuna Breakfast Scramble
This easy keto breakfast is low in carbs and high in protein. So, it’s perfect for a day when you’re working out or just craving extra protein.
Whisk together 2-3 eggs and a splash of cream until smooth.
As with the cheese omelette, if you’d like cheese with your breakfast scramble, grate it before you get cooking because it all comes together very quickly.
Also open and drain a tin of tuna and wash spinach or any other vegetables you’d like to include.
Heat coconut oil or butter in a frying pan. Pour in the scrambled egg mixture. Start scrambling as soon as the eggs start setting.
Once the eggs are almost ready, add in the tin of tuna, cheese and spinach.
Cook until the spinach has wilted, cheese melted and tuna heated through.
Day 7 – Hot Chocolate
And the final in this week of easy keto breakfast ideas is a hot chocolate.
Simply heat 1 Cup of almond milk in a saucepan until simmering. Then, quickly whisk in a row of low carb chocolate (like this) and a dash of cream.
Pour into a mug and enjoy! You could also top the hot chocolate with more cream, low carb ice cream or some shaved chocolate.
I find that a hot chocolate that’s low in carbs and high in fat like this really keeps me full until lunch and is the perfect quick breakfast from time to time.
Feel free to pick one or two of these easy keto breakfast ideas to mix and match through the week as your tastes (and time) dictates.
