KETO RECIPE: Sausage Breakfast Stacks 

Jen Fisch

The best part about making keto-friendly breakfasts is how many simple ingredients can be combined to give you the perfect fat-filled meal. Sausage patties topped with mashed avocado and a gooey, sunny-side-up egg is the perfect start to a morning. 

Lots of protein and healthy fats means this meal is super filling and keep you energized all day. It’s just as good at night as it is for breakfast!
