Everyone says breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and even though it’s been said for a while, it’s true! It not only starts up your metabolism, but it also gives you the energy you need to get you through the day. Here are some breakfasts that will fill you up without loading you up with carbs so your energy will last and last.

Huevos Rancheros

Huevos rancheros is a Mexican dish that involves all your favorite Latin flavors. Start off by draining and rinsing a can of black beans. Cook them with cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, and some cayenne if you want some heat. In the meantime, make a simple pico de gallo with chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Fry an egg and put it all together on a plate!

Simple Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is actually a great product to have in the morning because it has all the protein from the dairy but won’t weigh you down. Combine it with your favorite fruit like berries or melon and you have the perfect treat to start your day.

Chia Seed Pudding

Soaking chia seeds overnight in any kind of milk will create a pudding consistency that is filling, loaded with protein, and very low carb!
