If you're looking for quick and easy breakfast ideas, like our moms here at Konscious Keto, you're in the right place.
Breakfast is an essential component of the keto diet for two reasons:
1) Breakfast literally means to break-the-fast, and what you eat matters.
You should aim to break your fast with a high-fat moderate protein meal that is nourishing and gentle on your digestive system.
Bacon and eggs, for example, is a delicious and easy keto breakfast treat that won't inflame your gut.
Eating grains, wheat, carbs or gluten, on the other hand, is about the worst way to start your day.
These inflame your gut and cause cramping, bloating, and other upsetting and painful digestive complications.
2) What you eat determines your day.
If you make a good choice at step 1, you're more likely to make good choices throughout the day.
People who skip breakfast or lunch sometimes feel deprived and may begin to let hunger take the steering wheel. Once you cheat once, it's hard to get back into a positive mindset where you stop cheating and make good decisions.
So while it seems counter-intuitive to eat a high-fat meal right away, you could save yourself hundreds or thousands of calories and guilt.
If you want a great recipe to wake up your digestive tract, we have just the one for you.
Breakfast KETO Quiche
This tasty breakfast sausage quiche is a great option for hungry gatherers and can be refrigerated for weekday meal prep.
Simply take along to an event or serve on the weekend to the whole family, or as your go-to before work to ensure you're getting lots of good fats in.
The earlier you eat healthy fats the less likely you are to snack or make poor food choices later in the day.
If you do Intermittent Fasting (IF), you can use this to break your fast, as it's light but a high-fat meal that won't make you feel discomfort.
You can switch up the ingredients to suit: pancetta, bacon, ham, and even more green veggies are a simple way to turn this into a delicious new option.
