It doesn’t matter whether you’re just beginning your keto diet or have been living that low-carb life for a while now. Starting your day with a low-carb meal can be a challenge. Especially if you’re used to eating cereal, porridge, and other high-carb meals for breakfast.
If you’ve been eating low carb for a while now, you might simply get bored of eating the same thing all over and over again. That’s where getting more recipes into your keto meal plan can be useful.

Now, if you’re ready for a change and want to start your morning with something sweeter, try these muffins. Use erythritol as a sweetener to make sure these muffins taste great.
Erythritol is the healthiest sweetener out there and has no negative side effects. You can get it here.
Otherwise, I suggest these muffins if you have kids who love their sweets in the mornings. This is a much healthier yet totally sweet option for them as well.

If you are just one of those people who loves to fill themselves up in the morning, you’re going to love this cheeseburger quiche. It’s also great for the days that start way later than the workdays.
So, if you had a celebration the day before or just spend way too long watching your favorite Netflix series, this is the meal to cook the next day. It does contain beef, which has a high carbon footprint, so be aware of that.
Reducing the consumption of high carbon footprint meats such as lamb and beef is essential if we want to save the environment. So, do have that in mind.

You can get good quality coconut flour here. Eat these with blueberries – they are low in carbs and high in fiber.
Plus, they’ll beautiful add more flavors to the palette. If you’re not a fan of blueberries, try raspberries and bring more acidity into the picture.

Trust me, one casserole can feed quite a few. Also, you’ll notice that it contains hot sauce.

Instead, it’ll give the flavor a bit of a much-needed touch.

The making of them does require a little bit of technique. So, I’d advise you to make a bunch of them and eat them for a couple of days.
Also, feel free to just freeze them up and cook throughout the week. That’ll probably help you save time too. Make sure you get resealable freezer bags for that.
