Thick Greek yogurt with quick berry compote by Katie Caldesi makes a super simple breakfast that's filling and low in carbs. Add a few tablespoons of high protein nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or hemp seeds to make it more satiating. You could also have a hard-boiled egg on the side.
