If you’re following a ketogenic lifestyle, finding a breakfast that's low in carbs but high in flavor is key. Avocado Baked Eggs tick all the boxes. They’re rich in healthy fats, naturally low in carbs, and super simple to prepare. Plus, avocados are loaded with potassium and fiber—nutrients often lacking in standard keto diets.
According to research published by the NIH, avocados can support cardiovascular health and help regulate blood sugar due to their monounsaturated fat content. This makes them an ideal choice for anyone on a ketogenic or low-carb diet.
