5 Comments Looking for a delicious low carb breakfast that keeps you full all morning? After the holiday season, many of us feel ready for a fresh start, myself included. I actually kicked off my healthy habits a bit early in December (why wait for January, right?), but now it’s full focus ahead.
This easy low carb breakfast with avocado has quickly become one of my go-to meals. It’s rich in healthy fats and protein, super satisfying, and ready in just 10 minutes. Perfect for busy mornings!
I sometimes include a little sweet potato for extra flavor and nutrients. If you are strict keto, simply skip the sweet potato and enjoy the creamy avocado and eggs as the ultimate keto breakfast.

Ingredients Low-Carb Breakfast
Here’s the basic version:
- 2 eggs
- ½ ripe avocado
- 75 g cherry tomatoes
- 1 spring onion
- 100 g sweet potato (optional for extra carbs & fiber)
The combination of eggs and avocado gives you long-lasting energy, while tomatoes add vitamin C and freshness. Sweet potato adds more fiber and flavor but if you’re keeping carbs ultra-low, you can leave it out.
How To Make Low Carb Breakfast
You can scramble, fry, or poach the eggs. Choose your favorite style!
- Peel and cube the sweet potato (if using). Cook briefly until tender and let it steam dry.
- Heat a frying pan with a little coconut oil and cook the eggs to your liking.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan to warm them slightly.
- Slice the avocado and drizzle with lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.
- Top everything with spring onion and season with salt & pepper.
Serve straight from the pan for the ultimate low carb comfort breakfast!
