Filling 1 Carb Breakfast – Food & Drink Included!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE breakfast food. I could eat breakfast food any time of the day – morning, afternoon, night, middle of the night – ANYTIME! But if you aren’t careful, you can easily eat well over 100 carbs for this one meal. As much as I love pancakes and waffles, I steer clear as much as I can, even from the Keto versions because they still have plenty of carbs. I use those as a rare treat.

So my go-to breakfast is full of protein and fat to fill me up and keep me full all morning. In fact, this breakfast has 32 grams of protein and 24 grams of fat – which is a good start to the day! You don’t have to eat loads of food to get that either. All I eat is some scrambled eggs w/ bacon and cheese and and iced coffee with HWC (heavy whipping cream). See- simple! But you can have all that for only 1 carb! And if you shred your own cheese (which you really should do if you are doing strict Keto because they may add some sort of flour/corn starch to keep cheese from sticking together) you would be able to eat all this for ZERO carbs. That’s right, ZERO! And there is nothing fancy about this meal either!

For the bacon, here is what I use for my scrambles:

Bacon

I get this at Sam’s Club and it’s so convenient. You can use it on salads, in scrambles, or any recipe that calls for cooked, crumbled bacon. I like my bacon to be on the crispy side, so when I use it for scrambles, I like to start the bacon in the frying pan first and fry it up til it’s crispy. A small pan like this one works great for a single serving – 5 1/2 in frying pan

Once I get the bacon to where I want it, I pour in my eggs. I use 2 scrambled eggs.

Adding eggs in

Cook until almost done, then add in your cheese.

Adding cheese

I finish cooking until eggs are done and cheese is melted. That’s it! Super easy breakfast, and only 1 carb.

It wouldn’t be breakfast without my coffee though. For a ZERO carb coffee, I brew up whatever coffee I want (I use my Java Momma coffee which you can get here: www.javamomma.com/sbourquin). With the fall season, I love to break out my pumpkin spice coffee. I brew mine over ice, add in a tablespoon of HWC and a couple pumps of Jordan’s Skinny Syrups – Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice (no carbs).

So this ENTIRE breakfast is only 1 carb. It also has 25g protein and 32g fat. A good way to start the day and fuel your body. (If you love all things pumpkin spice, go here —->  https://javamomma.com/order/Coffee?pg=1&items=99999&search=pumpkin ).

When I really don’t have time to cook anything for breakfast and I want more of a ‘grab and go’, I throw a few pieces of microwave bacon in for about 30 seconds to get it nice and crispy and out the door I go. Poptarts used to be my go-to, but those definitely have way too much sugar and too many carbs for me to eat now.
