Pulled Pork Breakfast Hash
The perfect Keto Breakfast: Breakfast that is satisfying, full of nutrients, low-carb, and keto diet friendly, that is what you get with this pulled pork hash.
Finding a healthy and tasty Keto breakfast can be a challenge, especially if you are used to eating things like cereal and waffles for breakfast.
While you can make these delicious keto pancakes, or egg muffins, another fun Keto breakfast idea is hash. Traditionally a hash has potatoes, which are not keto diet friendly, but this one swaps out the potatoes for turnips, which give you a similar flavor and texture without the extra pesky carbs.
I am a savory breakfast lover in general, and when you can give me one that is loaded with tasty veggies, and is low-carb, I think it is a real winner! I love that this hash uses pulled pork, which is perfect when you have leftovers. And I especially love how quickly it comes together.
You can use Smoked Pulled Pork& Pork Shoulder or Pork Butt or Cajun Pulled Pork!
What can I eat for breakfast on the keto diet?
Keto breakfast recipes can be hard to come by especially if you don’t want eggs. However, this keto breakfast hash is the ideal breakfast, and yes it does have eggs, but it is also loaded with delicious vegetables like brussels sprouts, and turnips. And even has a nice dose of spinach.
What you can eat for breakfast on the keto diet is not much different than what you can eat for other meals. You can eat foods that are low carb, and high in fat. A stuffed avocado, for example, would be a great breakfast. Eggs make a great keto breakfast because they have virtually no carbs.
Breakfast hash is perfect as long as you don’t add potatoes.
Breakfast Hash
This keto friendly breakfast hash uses leftover pulled pork, a variety of vegetables, and some turnips to make a satisfying breakfast in a single skillet.
The turnips take the place of traditional potatoes. They can be fried up to mimic potatoes in texture and even flavor, and add some satisfying heft to this hash.
One of the great things about this breakfast is how versatile and customizable it is. Add whatever low-carb vegetables you prefer. I love adding bell peppers in. You can adjust the flavor by adding different veggies, use up odds and ends, and make a great meal.
This simple breakfast is also made in a single skillet, which cuts down on mess!
What can you have for breakfast on a low carb diet?
When it comes to breakfast, the most important meal of the day, one of the things to keep in mind for a low carb diet, is finding breakfast ideas that will help you stay satisfied until lunch, give you a nutrient boost to give you some brain power to fuel your day, obviously you will want something that tastes good, and of course, something low in carbohydrates.
This recipe is super fun because it uses leftover pulled pork to make a delicious breakfast. Of course, you have to be careful to only use pork that was not seasoned with a high carb sauce like BBQ sauce, which has a lot of sugar.
I love to smoke pork butt or pork shoulder with a seasoning rub, and then shred it and add my sauces after. This means I can set some aside to use in low carb breakfasts like this Pulled pork breakfast hash. I just pop some in freezer bags and freeze to pull out for meals like this later.
- Is yogurt allowed on ketogenic diet? Yogurt, if plain, Greek yogurt, can be allowed on a ketogenic diet, but it really depends on the yogurt and the brand. Yogurt has some carbs, so you have to find one that does not have added carbs or sugars. And eat it in moderation.
- Can you eat oatmeal on a keto diet? Oatmeal is not conducive to being in a ketogenic state, and thus is not recommended for a ketogenic diet. It is not low carb. Which means, skip the oatmeal and have a nice vegetable hash when you want a hot breakfast.
If you are looking for low carb breakfast ideas a sugar free yogurt or eggs are an excellent idea if you are a vegetarian, but if you love meat, you can make all kinds of fun breakfasts using leftover meats. Hash is the perfect vehicle as you can literally toss in whatever meats you have, sausages, chicken, etc. Load it up with low-carb veggies, and then top it with an egg.
Or for another fun twist, try wrapping this low-carb breakfast up in a low carb tortilla for a flavorful breakfast burrito.
