Extra tips

Any healthy snack ideas?

Start your day with these keto-friendly breakfast snacks:

  • Bacon and avocado mini lettuce wraps
  • Coconut yogurt with a sprinkle of chia seeds
  • Breakfast egg muffins
  • Almond flour pancakes
  • Sausage and cheese stuffed mushrooms
  • Smoked salmon and cream cheese roll-ups
  • Spinach and feta omelet
What should I drink on this meal plan?

For breakfast, the right beverages can energize and nourish. Water first thing in the morning rehydrates the body. Freshly squeezed orange juice provides vitamin C. A cup of green or black tea offers a gentle caffeine boost. A smoothie with fruits and vegetables starts the day with nutrients. Lastly, milk or a plant-based alternative adds calcium and protein.

How to get even more nutrients?

For a keto breakfast, the goal is to start the day with a meal high in fats and proteins but low in carbohydrates. Consider options like eggs cooked with spinach in butter, or a smoothie made with coconut milk, a handful of berries, and protein powder. Avocado slices or a few nuts can add extra healthy fats to keep you full and energized throughout the morning.
