Avocado & Lox Keto Breakfast Bowls
Savory, Protein-Rich, and Keto Bagel-Inspired
Creamy avocado, silky smoked salmon, everything bagel seasoning, capers, red onion, and a soft-boiled egg served over arugula—this breakfast bowl is basically our favorite bagel combo made keto. It’s satisfying, simple, and fresh.
This is the kind of breakfast we turn to when we want something indulgent, nourishing, and just a little bit fancy—without actually doing much work. There’s something about smoked salmon, avocado, and a jammy egg that feels café-worthy, but when it’s all layered into one bowl and topped with that magical everything bagel seasoning, we know we’re winning breakfast
We started making these bowls when we were missing our favorite deli-style bagel with lox. Instead of reaching for a carb-heavy substitute, we built a keto-friendly version that’s even better. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and flavor, it’s become a go-to for slow mornings, brunch dates at home, and even quick weekday meal prep. One bite, and we’re hooked all over again.
