High-Protein Keto Breakfast Power Bowl

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep proteins: If using shredded chicken, warm it gently in a skillet with a little oil and a pinch of salt. If using smoked salmon, set aside at room temp.

2. 2

   Wilt spinach: In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp oil over medium. Add spinach and a pinch of salt, sauté 1–2 minutes until just wilted. Transfer to a bowl.

3. 3

   Cook eggs: Add remaining oil to the skillet. For scrambled: whisk eggs (or egg whites) with salt and pepper, pour into skillet, cook low and slow, folding until soft curds form. For fried: cook to desired doneness. For a quick high-protein option, make a soft omelette and fold.

4. 4

   Assemble bowl: Place wilted spinach as base. Add cooked eggs, warmed chicken or smoked salmon, diced avocado, and cheese or dollop of Greek yogurt/cream cheese.

5. 5

   Finish: Sprinkle chives, everything bagel seasoning or smoked paprika, and optional sesame seeds/crushed pork rinds. Adjust salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.

7. 7

   Savory, slightly creamy from avocado and cheese/yogurt, with a mild smoky or herbaceous finish from smoked paprika/everything seasoning.

8. 8

   High in protein from eggs and chicken/salmon; fats come from avocado, cheese, and oil—keeps net carbs low while supporting satiety and muscle maintenance on a ketogenic plan.
