Omelets are a very healthy breakfast. You’ve got your protein from the eggs and your vitamins, fiber, and folate from the vegetables.

Unlike cold cereal, which is usually very processed and full of added sugar, eating omelets for breakfast will give you an even source of energy rather than a spike in your blood sugar and then a quick drop in your energy.

And if you eat eggs and vegetables in the morning you won’t crave sweets and refined carbohydrates as much throughout the day.

I use butter from grass-fed cows or bacon grease to saute my veggies. Read about the best cooking fats here. I like to use eggs from pasture-raised chickens and cheddar cheese. And I like to use organic fresh vegetables too.

These are my favorite vegetables to put in an omelet, but of course you can use whatever you want or whatever you have on hand. I like to save some diced tomatoes to put on top of the omelet along with the avocado as well.
