Low Carb Breakfast – Veggie & Cheese Egg Bake Recipe

If you are looking to find a low carb breakfast recipe then this post is for you. Have you found that you have fallen out of your healthy routine after experiencing stress or a life changing event? Has your diet suffered as a result? Are you looking to turn things around? Are you trying to reduce sugar in your diet? Do you need to reduce carbs? Are you looking for a little variety in your routine? Are you searching for a healthy breakfast alternative? This recipe is for you.

As a person who is continuously trying to improve my eating habits, this is one recipe I have grown to love. I admit I am a chocolate and carb person by nature so eating higher protein and vegetables at breakfast time instead of a muffin or bagel is an improvement. Small collective changes over time do make a difference. Consistency is key. With that said, here is one recipe you may want to give a try at breakfast.
