Keto Breakfast Ideas That Are Not Just Eggs

A good keto breakfast is built around protein and is quick enough for a real morning. Here are ten ideas — some take five minutes, a few can be made ahead on Sunday.

Make-ahead options

• Baked egg cups with spinach and cheese
• Hard-boiled eggs with salt and olive oil
• Cream cheese pancakes, reheated in a dry pan
• Chia pudding made with unsweetened almond milk

Not just eggs

• Cottage cheese with cucumber, salt and pepper
• Smoked salmon and cream cheese on cucumber rounds
• Last night's leftover protein over a handful of greens

Breakfast is often where protein falls short, so it's a useful place to start. The protein guide has more breakfast ideas, and there's also a warm, oatmeal-style option:

If you are not hungry in the morning

You do not have to force it. Just make your first meal a solid one rather than a handful of something.
