Breakfast Ideas

1. Keto Egg Muffins

Full of protein but are great for grab and go days!

  • Ingredients: 12 Eggs, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1 cup grated cheese, ½ cup finely chopped cooked bacon or finely chopped cooked sausage and ½ cup diced bell peppers.

  • Instructions: Mix it all together! Pour in greased muffin tins and bake! 175°C fan oven temp for 20 mins. 

2. Chia Seed Pudding

Creamy and very satisfying option, a perfect way to start the morning. 

  • Ingredients: 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add some nuts or berries for added sweetness.

  • Instructions: Combine chia seeds, almond milk and vanilla. Stir well.

Cover the mixture and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge, allowing the seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding. Once thickened add berries, shredded coconut or a few nuts. 

Lunch Ideas

These are great to customise! Experiment with your fav keto friendly salad ingredients. Here's one for you to start with

  • Ingredients: Layer grilled chicken, leafy greens, cucumber, shredded cheese and keto friendly salad dressing at the bottom.

2. Lettuce Wraps

  • A fav with myself! Add deli meat, avocado and cheese for a quick and very easy lunch! 

  • Have a boiled egg and a handful of nuts on the side.
