If you’ve ever tried watching what you eat or any kind of diet, then you know that feeling full is key to success. The key to feeling full is protein, and a good high protein breakfast is how to get your day off to a good start.
You could eat protein bars or shakes, of course, and I’ve definitely succumbed to those kinds of things when I was much busier and didn’t have time to make a good breakfast. But you know, a protein bar is just not as satisfying as sitting down to a real meal.
A breakfast like this, however, is the best. It’s got everything you want to start your day: Vegetables? Check. Protein? Check. Deliciousness? Double check. The deliciousness comes from a delicious seasoning and quick toss in Ava Jane’s Kitchen Avocado Oil and lemon juice. Oh, and bacon. Bacon always makes everything delicious.
The seasoning I used for this particular dish is the Ava’s Favorite Burger Seasoning I got from my spice subscription. I just sprinkled a tiny bit on when it was all put together, and it added the perfect savory note to this. It’s heavy with notes of garlic and pepper and definitely has uses other than just burgers!
This meal is Paleo and keto friendly, doesn’t take long to prepare, and will fill you up until lunch time, guaranteed.

Are the Brussels sprouts shredded raw or are they cooked first?
Hi Nancy-
The Brussels sprouts are raw here, but you can certainly saute them in a little oil first if you’d rather eat them that way.
Thanks for this recipe. I’ve been experimenting with new recipes using raw veggies, sweet potatoes, proteins and fresh herbs and spices. I will definitely try this one. Also, thank you for not using those long videos to give me some info. I look forward to your emails so keep ‘em comin.’
Can’t wait to try this. Breakfast is my hardest meal!

Use the vinegar to cleanse the palate??
Hi Marion,
The vinegar is added to the water that you poach your eggs in.
