High Fiber Low Carb Breakfast Recipes | 12 Delicious Ideas

Cliché as it may sound, breakfast is still the most important meal of the day. That’s why you need these high fiber low carb breakfast recipes to kick off your morning the healthy way!

Think of your body like a human car.

Our muscles undergo repair and recovery when we sleep at night, and this process consumes a lot of fuel (a.k.a. the nutrients in your body).

So when you wake up the next morning, your fuel tank is almost empty.

That’s why it needs to refuel to be ready for the day’s activities, and that’s what breakfast is for.

The type of fuel you put in the car determines its performance, and the same is true for breakfast. What you eat for your first meal of the day will determine how active, alert, and focused you will be.

Now, the big question is: what should you eat for breakfast?

According to our dietitians at the Cleveland Clinic, we should focus on fiber for a healthy breakfast. (*)

Sounds easy to do, right? Not exactly, especially if you are on your keto because most high-fiber breakfast meals are rich in carbohydrates, too!

Think cereals, granolas, oatmeal, and many more.

The good news is you don’t have to choose between a fiber-rich breakfast or staying in ketosis because we’re here to help you out. 

As avid breakfast lovers, we’re always searching for low-carb breakfast recipes. That’s why we wrote this article to share with you the best breakfast recipes that are:

• low in carbs and high in fiber,
• easy to cook (requires minimal ingredients),
• quick to make (takes less than an hour),
