"Greek yogurt with a keto nut based granola. Chia seeds and blueberries. I also had a small egge white omlette with spinach. We have a family holiday today where we gift each other books and read all day and eat chocolate and hot cocoa. So I am planning on having a few treats today. But I tried to eat a big breakfast first so I wouldnt want as many treats."

See commentsIngredients
- 2 cups low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup keto nut-based granola
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup spinach (for omelette)
- 4 egg whites
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and chia seeds. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some moisture.
- While the yogurt is setting, prepare the egg white omelette. In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg whites to the skillet and cook until set, about 3 minutes. Fold the omelette in half and set aside.
- Once the yogurt has thickened slightly, layer it in bowls with the keto nut-based granola and blueberries.
- Serve the yogurt mixture alongside the spinach omelette for a complete breakfast.
