Here is another wonderful low-carb breakfast that has a hint of southwestern spiciness. This is a great keto breakfast that has only 7 net carbs in each serving and you can keep it in your rotation of breakfast meals that you can eat any time of the day or night.
Many breakfast meals consist of potatoes which are a no-no on the keto diet but this meal replaces the potatoes with radishes! This is a tasty way to add fiber to keep you full longer. Radishes have more water inside than potatoes and they don’t taste the same but they are still quite good. Cooking them gets rid of the spiciness and heat that you taste when eating them raw.
