Fast food breakfasts just won't cut it on a low-carb diet [1], but these quick, homemade meals [2] absolutely will. When it comes to breakfast, it's not just how efficiently you can whip up a recipe that matters, but also how much trouble it can save you on hectic mornings [3]. So, while these breakfasts require very little active cooking time, many of them can also be made in batches over the weekend [4], then simply reheated (or not!) throughout the week. You'll find everything from chocolate muffins to breakfast fajitas in this list, each packed with flavour and nutrients that will help keep you going until lunch. Let's dig in, shall we?
Kale, Caramelized Onion, and Gouda Egg Muffins
This veggie-filled breakfast is much healthier than any egg muffin you'll find in a drive-through, and they'll stay good in the refrigerator for up to a week.
