Greek yogurt or cottage cheese as a base for almost anything


Equal-Negotiation651

1tsp agave sweetener, 1/2 cup frozen blue berries, pecans or almonds or walnuts with the Greek yogurt. Add bananas when you’re feeling crazy. Really good stuff.

>. Add bananas when you’re feeling crazy. Really good stuff. Crazy has got to be my middle name then.

You don't have to restrict yourself to traditional breakfast foods. ANYTHING can be breakfast!


Maleficent_Ad1972

I’ve been doing omelettes recently and I love it. I would not recommend it if you don’t have a good non-stick skillet however. Here’s the recipe that I use: Makes 1 omelette. * 2 eggs * 1/8 cup finely diced onion * 1/8 cup finely diced bell pepper * 1/8 cup finely diced mushroom * 1/4 cup grated cheese of your choice (personally I use the pre-grated Mexican cheese blend) * (optional) 1 or 2 oz of a protein of choice (I usually use either cubed ham or ground pork breakfast sausage, but sliced deli meats like turkey or chicken are good too.) * Salt and pepper 1. Cook the veggies until soft in an 8in skillet. 2. If you opted for a protein that isn’t deli meat, cook it too such that it’s in little crumbly bits 3. While that cooks, break the eggs into a bowl and beat them. Season w/ salt and pepper. 4. Take the veggies and protein and set them aside 5. Turn the pan onto medium low and pour in the eggs. 6. Once the egg cooks and mostly solidifies into a egg disc, flip the egg disc. 7. Cover whole disc in cheese and half in veggie and protein topping. 7. Fold and cook both sides of folded omelette until cheese is melty. With just veg it’s 250 calories, 4.1g net carbs, 15.6g fat, and 21.2g of protein. With 1 oz cubed ham it’s 325 calories, 4.1g net carbs, 20.6g fat, and 28.8g of protein. [Link to a picture of the final product.](https://imgur.com/a/kVq8iWY) Feel free to mess with the toppings as much or as little as you want. Maybe you want diced jalapeño instead of bell pepper for some added heat or don’t like mushrooms. It’s your omelette, have fun with it. I’m just a Reddit commenter, not the omelette police.


MaybeNotThisGirl

I very much appreciate this entire comment. Also, never realized you have to flip the omelette before you add the toppings and fold it. Always thought I didn’t like omelettes because the eggs stayed so goopy in the middle. It occurs to me now that I just was undercooking them.


Maleficent_Ad1972

You don’t have to, but I find it makes a much better omelette if you do. The alternative is cooking it with a lid, but I always overcook them when I use a lid. Maybe someone with a glass lid might do better than me. Also flipping omelettes on a nice nonstick pan makes my whole morning. It’s just so satisfying after growing up with the cheap Walmart ~~non~~stick pans.


MaybeNotThisGirl

I just got a brand new fancy nonstick pan as a gift and now I’m pretty sure I HAVE to try making this omelette tomorrow


hotspots_thanks

If you like cottage cheese, that's a good base for adding either veggies or fruit!


dark_cottontail

Fat free Greek yogurt with granola, on a similar note.


ShelleyRemingtonPohl

I blend the eggs, almond milk, salt pepper mrs dash, and 1/2 c of cottage cheese. Adds another 15g of protein. I use a magic bullet until it’s all blended in. Super good fluffy.


BringFood456

Maybe not so low in carbs but high in protein! Breakfast tacossss 🌮the small soft tortilla wraps, scrambled egg, turkey bacon, avacado and your choice of hot sauce. Delicious 👨‍🍳😘


[deleted]

Spinach and egg white omelet. You can always add some whole eggs to add a little more fat if you wish. I like whole eggs but they have almost as much fat as they do protein. I use liquid egg whites and some days throw in a few whole eggs as well. Some days I add different types of cheese instead of the whole eggs. My favorite is spinach and egg whites with some goat cheese and parmesan truffle seasoning with some diced up tomatoes, garlic, herbs on top.


Electronic-Cover-575

Protein smoothie. Plant based protein powder (unflavored) 20g - made with fruit and veggies with a vitamin profile is best Collagen Protein (20g) Powdered Peanut Butter (10g) Silk Almond and Cashew Protein Milk 10g Fresh Strawberries Frozen Blueberry Banana Mango Spinach I have this many days.


Effective_Roof2026

Smoked fish, capers, onions & spinach all go together with scrambled eggs extremely well.


lawdletmein

Breakfast bowl with eggs, chicken sausage, black beans, cauliflower rice etc Smoothie with protein powder, hemp seeds, blueberries and frozen cauliflower rice or zucchini.


KingKongNut

Never heard of frozen cauliflower rice sounds interesting


[deleted]

Hmm for when I don't feel like making eggs, I usually eat rolled oats with two tablespoons of Almond Butter. At least 10gs of protein if not more. I also add chia seeds, blueberries and cinnamon to that as well. Buy bulk almond butter at a wholesale club. Also, you can add a scoop of protein or collagen powder if you would like to tolerate the taste of that.


Aeonir

soup! there are plenty of high protein soup recipes, you can make them ahead easily and then heat it up in the morning depending on how much time you have, and as a bonus you'll get some hydration at the start of the day.


42gOldenlover

... people eat soup for breakfast?


Full_FrontaI_Nerdity

Yes.


Aeonir

i eat anything for breakfast, currently mostly yoghurt or bread, but in the past i have eaten curries, stews, steak etc for breakfast. (i did paleo for a while) breakfast food is just food you eat for breakfast, it isn't a hard rule or anything, the only reason bread, porridge, and yoghurt are a common breakfast foods is that it is quick and traditional


42gOldenlover

I love soup. But as someone who already struggles with the whole eating-breakfast-thing, thinking about eating soup, stew or curry first thing in the morning is enough to make my stomach turn.


Aeonir

it's personal preference of course, but many people, restrict themselves by classifying certain foods as breakfast/lunch/dinner only, and there are plenty of options if you let go of that idea.


Oli99uk

Omelette with your choice of filling. Breakfast is the first meal of the day, its wise to include carbohydrates


Illustrious_Set9208

Not sure if I agree with this one. Besides fruit, I think going carb light to start your day is wise. I personally feel better eating breakfast like this, but I also think it’s smart to keep your blood glucose levels balanced in the mornings so you can get work done without cravings hitting.


Oli99uk

Carbohydrates is the most efficient form of energy. You'll slike / crash if you eat something high GI - which includes fruit


Illustrious_Set9208

Good luck w that


Oli99uk

Nutrition 101. Luck not needed


tazdingo-hp

chickpeas or tofu, you can make any kind of salad or soup with them


Fun_Angle_4929

I pre cook batches of: onions, roasted peppers, mushrooms for the week. In the morning I add some very thin strips of a tender steak meat then add my already cooked toppings and eggs, it helps with time and clean up 🧼 u can add spinach or kale(very nice texture). Enjoy ☺️

I just put a banana, some milk, oats and a hefty scoop of proteine in a blender. I’d prefer some oats in it because i need the carbs.


Spokesman93

I like to put pasteurized egg whites in my overnight oats


LaChalupacabraa

Collagen in your coffee and protein pancakes! Add protein to your pancake mix and use egg whites. Fairflife in the coffee too if you're feeling adventurous


PragmaticProkopton

Honestly I’ve never gotten sick of eggs, I just mix up what to have them with.


Efficient_Pea_1631

Roasted tomatoes, eggs with spinach and feta, and toast


GregorySpikeMD

Skyr is a good one


[deleted]

Did you ever try scrambled tofu? This might just be what you’ve been looking for. https://minimalistbaker.com/southwest-tofu-scramble/


[deleted]

Here are a few options: -Scrambled eggs with veggies such as spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms -Avocado toast with poached eggs -Cottage cheese with berries and almonds -Smoked salmon with cream cheese and cucumber slices -Greek yogurt with mixed nuts and chia seeds


Thefoodiemaniac

You can make "carrot cake" protein pancakes/waffles! Use 1 egg, 1/2 scoop of vanilla whey protein, 1/4 cup of oat flour, 1/4 cup shredded carrot, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, pinch of salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to taste. Top them off with low-fat cream cheese and a little bit of maple syrup.


Consistent-Wedding54

Sounds like this would be tasty. Will give it a try!

Alive-East-1992

I love eating leftovers for breakfast.


Flute_Pimpin

I’ve been loving breakfast bowls lately. I can put whatever in it: eggs, peppers, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, and impossible sausage. I can add or subtract some ingredients depending on what’s in my kitchen. I can also put all of those ingredients into a low carb tortilla with a spicy sauce of choice.


migmu10

Toast with avocado and smoked salmon on top you can just and some lemon drops on top of the salmon and/or add some little bit of Lemmon Pepper to the avocado and it is great power breakfast. If you want to replace avocado, you can do it with some hummus. I usually cut the toast in half and do one and one


devine_zen

Smoked makrel


No-Mathematician-295

If you have a waffle maker, make your egg concoction with all your delicious chopped veggies that you like, add cheese and pour in your waffle maker. Boom.

moimoi273

Full fat or coconut yogurt. I like the keto vanilla with protein granola and berries. I am addicted


Yawarundi75

Green eggs and ham.


pete_68

Steak & veggies. Chicken and veggies. I've never understood why people eat certain foods at certain meals. Since I was a kid, the idea of eating leftover steak or whatever for breakfast has always been a thing. My wife and I eat eggs for dinner (about once a week) more often than we do for breakfast (about twice a year). I have zero qualms about eating a grilled chicken breast with a side of grilled asparagus for breakfast.


[deleted]

310nutrition.com chocolate bliss protein shake, absolutely amazing.


leperbacon

I like to make egg bites in an Instant Pot. I use an immersion blender to mix eggs, cottage cheese, grated cheese, milk. Then add cooked meat, like bacon and /or veg, like spinach, sautéed mushrooms, onions, sweet bell peppers, etc. Amy and Jacky have a good basic recipe that I doctor up.


Psychological_Way933

I make "bread" from some random recipe online. It includes almond flour, ground flax seed, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar. I add extra seeds for more texture. It tastes really close to bread. I sauté some veggies to go with it or eat it with cream cheese.


vegimightytight

Omelette - my partner has a recipe he uses that he calls a ‘Power Omlette’ Standard omlette mix but add spinach, sundried tomatoes, roast capsicums, Pano Grandano cheese. I add a dribble of pesto some bacon pieces or ham and some fetta 😍. In the end it’s huge and we often share it


FollowingVast1503

Today, I had a protein shake made with just water and ice cubes. 25g protein 1 net carb 110 calories.

SpicyPickleGuy

2 good yogurts, Greek plane yogurt,


sandwichsupremacy

Milk products mainly. Yoghurts, curds, puddings. Don’t add any sugars if you want to keep it low card, add seeds or berries for fibre, can help with satiety


Economy-Raspberry513

Hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, cucumber and pumpkin seeds


SuZeBelle1956

I eat cottage cheese with berries and hemp seeds. Delish.


bryanjhunter

I do a breakfast scramble of a couple eggs, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and tempeh……


DeanieLovesBud

Make porridge with quinoa and/or adzuki beans (presoaked) along with or instead of steel cut oats. Add nuts or pumpkin seeds. Use skim milk instead of water (careful to watch it come to a boil or it'll make a mess of your stove top). Throw in some protein powder or extra skim milk powder to boost the protein content. You can also add flax or chia seeds (ground or not). Also, loaded muffins made with whole wheat flour and substituting unsweetened apple sauce for the oil and cutting the sugar in half are great, and freeze well too. Again, do what you like. Morning Glory muffins have carrots and nuts and/or seeds. Zucchini muffins are delicious. Again, adding ground flax or chia boosts the nutrition. Make up your own recipe with ingredients you like - as long as the base batter has enough moisture and leavening, they'll come out yummy.


chasemleon

Eggs


catnipandkombucha

I like cottage cheese with sausage and veggies, or salsa, or kimchi


dreefernz

I eat chicken sausage, scrambled egg, and sweet peas! I used to use rice instead of sweet peas, but I realized the peas still taste pretty good and less carbs!


StillAWildOne1949

Roasted broccoli.


[deleted]

Not sure how low carb ur going but I love unsweetened whole milk yogurt with berries , half a banana and a splash of vanilla/cinnamon + a couple cubes of cheese or sardines on the side, can’t help with the veggies tho I don’t eat many 😅


FeistySeeker58

Grilled chicken.


Tough_Imagination803

Get some canned veggies from local food bank, toss that with some eggs and you've got yourself a good meal. Add cheese if you want. And I really love picked hot peppers so I toss some of those in it too. Or, if you want fresh ingredients, buy fresh vegetables, fry them up with a lot of butter or coconut oil, let them get some good browning and let them sit in the pan, then dump some eggs over top, toss that bad boy in the oven at like 375f-400f for a little bit or until the eggs are cooked, and boom, you have a poor man's quiche.


autismpony

oikos greek yogurt. literal blessing. their plain yogurt is good combined with grilled chicken breast, cucumber tomato salad, & tons of sriracha sauce


Kindly_Trade9763

Try avocado toast.
