Pancakes, croissants, and bagels are hallmark breakfast items; however, if you’re following a low-carb, high protein, high-fat eating pattern, like keto, you may be searching for alternative breakfast options. If you’re in a time crunch and trying to figure out what to whip up in the kitchen, here are eight keto-friendly breakfast finds from Costco.
1. Columbus Turkey Bacon
Columbus Turkey Bacon can be chewy (or crispy), and easily makes for a fan favorite. Costco has several types of bacon to choose from, but opting for turkey bacon may be a smart choice as it is leaner than pork bacon. For breakfast, you can consume bacon as is or pair it with cauliflower, salt, pepper, cheese, and peppers to make a keto-friendly breakfast casserole.
2. Lahli Harvest Protein Bites
Lahli Harvest Protein Bites are a ready-to-eat breakfast item that are perfect if you don’t have time to cook in the morning. They are made with chicken, eggs, whole milk, sweet potatoes, kale, yellow squash, and onions. One serving, or four bites, contains 10 grams of protein and 6 grams of carbohydrates. Pairing these bites with a cup of joe is one option to ease your hunger before you start the work day.
3. Catalina Crunch Cinnamon Toast Cereal
Cereal is a convenient breakfast food. This Cinnamon Toast variety by Catalina Crunch is ideal if you’re looking for a zero-sugar, grain-free, keto-friendly cereal. It’s sweetened with stevia extract and monk fruit, two plant-based sugar substitutes that give this cereal, in my opinion, a great flavor. Plus, it’s low in sodium for those watching their intake.
4. Kirkland Signature Wild Smoked Salmon
Salmon is a versatile lean protein that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The sky’s the limit when it comes to salmon. Use Kirkland Signature Wild Smoked Salmon in any of these three low-carb, keto-friendly recipes:
5. Kiolbassa Organic Grass Fed Beef Sausage
Sausages are a tasty combination of fat and protein. One link of the Kiolbassa Organic Grass Fed Beef Sausage contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrates and 13 grams of protein. Combining these sausages with Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, and onions makes a filling keto-friendly breakfast skillet.
6. Kerrygold Dubliner Irish Cheese
An ounce of Kerrygold Dubliner Irish Cheese contains 0 grams of carbs and 7 grams of protein. Cheese provides a mellow but distinct flavor that can brighten up any breakfast dish. Pair this cheese with any protein of your choosing, a low-carb tortilla wrap, and a side of berries for a well-rounded meal.
7. Darigold Half And Half
A morning cup of coffee does more than wake you up. For some, a cup of joe is a non-negotiable ritual. Adding a splash of half and half can cut the bitterness of your coffee and is a keto-friendly choice. Two tablespoons of Darigold Half & Half contains 3 grams of total fat, 1 gram of carbs, and 1 gram of protein.
8. Low Carb Keto Nut Granola Blueberry Cinnamon
This Low Carb Keto Nut Granola Blueberry Cinnamon contains pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut chips, and is sweetened with erythritol and monk fruit extract. With 2 grams of net carbs for every one-third cup, this granola may be a good topping for full-fat yogurt or even a keto-friendly smoothie.
