The way you break your overnight fast determines your biochemistry for the day! Start your day off with a high fat and protein meal that nourishes your mitochondria, brain and keeps your blood sugar and insulin in check πͺπ»
Everyone in our house eats a slightly different breakfast, but healthy fats and protein are all non-negotiable (as well as some phytonutrients from plants π±)
My dad is the classic bacon and egg guy π₯π³
He loves 2-3 eggs sunny side up, fried in lard with a few slices of bacon (and my mom makes sure he gets tomatoes too π). If heβs up for some greens we give him some guacamole too π₯
Our eggs and bacon are of the highest quality, always pastured and fed a species appropriate diet.

Like many, he also loves to have a bread swap with a clean chocolate nut butter as well. All the healthy fats keep his brain fueled and heβs able to power through a long morning of meetings and calls without feeling hangry π
In Germany, itβs not very common to eat a warm breakfast, so sometimes we just have a few slices of a bread swap with butter, heirloom prosciutto/ham, liverwurst, avocado, nut butter or cranberry jam π
We also love this sweet breakfast bread with butter and cranberry jam or nut butter π
I love a good egg-cake slathered in butter, with avocado and a veggie stir-fry drizzled in tahini! I love the SOCO pesto tahini. My breakfast veggie template can be found here!
I love it so much that they actually reached out to me and offered a code for my followers: You can get yours for 20% off if you use code cureeated at checkout!
I am also a fan of chocolate for breakfast so I usually end the meal with a few squares of Bulletproof Chocolate or The Good Chocoateπ«
Both are a great sugar free and high fat fuel that keep me nourished and energized with a plethora of nutrients and healthy fats π plus who doesnβt love chocolate ?
My mom loves a good bagel with sockeye nova lox, a vegan cream cheese, butter and some greens π₯―π₯¬
An alternative to the smoked salmon is smoked trout such as that from Rainbow King Foods! You can use code CUREATED to save on your order!
This way, she gets a large dose of brain healthy omega fatty acids and proteins. We are so lucky to have found Unbun grainfree bagels! They are delicious and are a great swap full of healthy fat and fiber ππ»

Egg Frittatas are great too, I usually take these when I travel in the morning. I love to add veggies and left over meat or smoked salmon/trout. My recipe is here.
And of course a breakfast omelette is a classic- recipe here!
Baked Breakfast avocado π₯ is also a Great side! I love to eat it with US Wellness Meats Liverwurst or bison sliders from Northstar Bison!
Last but not least, you can also enjoy this fat fueled βnoatmealβ with your favorite granola, nut butter and chocolate π«
