Everywhere you look, people are taking all sorts of measures to reduce their daily dose of carbs. In the new low-carb wonderland, starch-free stand-ins like zoodles and cauliflower rice have emerged to provide endless nutrient-dense lunch and dinner possibilities. But what about that first meal of the day? Where do you turn when cereal and bagels are off-limits?

If you’re trying to cut back on carbs, breakfast can quickly start to feel unbelievably mundane (Oh, eggs… again). Lucky for you, we’ve got 14 delicious low-carb recipes you can whip up faster than you can say “hold the toast, please.”
