Chapter 2: Ketogenic Breakfast Recipes

image

If you want to enjoy a great breakfast, there are multiple slow cooker recipes to try. You can cook these while you sleep, so once you get up, you have food ready to go. Others will cook as you go about your morning routine and will be ready once you have a few minutes to eat. The overall preparation does not take long either so you can put these together just before bed without a major time investment.

As you explore these recipes, keep in mind that you can make changes if needed. For example, if you do not like tomatoes, simply omit the ingredient when possible, or swap it out for an ingredient that is similar in the nutrient count. This ensures that you are getting the macronutrient ratio needed, keeping your carbs down and truly enjoying the foods that you are eating.
