Start your day right with a delicious keto-approved breakfast (includes 3 easy recipes)
02/14/2020 // Zoey Sky // Views

It takes discipline to commit to a healthy eating plan, especially one as strict as the keto diet. But if you're new to this particular diet, rest assured that you won't be stuck eating bland food. You can enjoy nutritious meals that are also delicious as long as you make keto-friendly breakfast recipes, like broccoli cheese muffins and spinach quiche.

The keto diet promotes weight loss, boosts your energy level and improves mental clarity. It also minimizes inflammation if you follow the macronutrient recommendations and stay in ketosis.

Additionally, going keto lowers your risk for developing metabolic syndrome, a group of factors that include:

  • Abdominal obesity
  • High triglycerides, blood pressure and blood sugar
  • low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) or "good" cholesterol

Try keto recipes that are made with ingredients you like and are good for you, like leafy greens, so you can reap the benefits of the keto diet.

The three recipes below are from "The Everything Keto Diet Meal-Prep Cookbook" by Lindsay Boyers, a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant (CHNC). Boyers shared that learning simple and tasty recipes helps ensure that you strictly follow the keto diet and enjoy its benefits.

Eating keto-friendly foods that you enjoy also prevents you from reaching for fattening snacks that contain carbs. (Related: Curb your carb cravings with these healthy keto bread recipes.)
