Artificial Food Coloring Free Whole30 Garlic Chive Salmon Avocado Breakfast Plate
Breakfast doesn't have to mean cereal dyes, neon-colored syrups, or mystery ingredients lurking in a packaged mix. This morning plate is built entirely from whole, recognizable foods — crispy-skinned salmon, soft scrambled eggs cooked low and slow in ghee, and creamy sliced avocado — so you know exactly what you're eating from the first bite to the last. The salmon gets a simple rub of garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper before hitting a hot skillet, and a generous scatter of fresh chives at the end adds a bright, herby finish that makes the whole plate feel restaurant-worthy. Ghee keeps the eggs rich and silky without any of the additives that can sneak into conventional cooking sprays or flavored butters. A squeeze of lemon over everything ties the flavors together beautifully, and a pinch of red pepper flakes adds just enough heat if you're into it. It's the kind of breakfast that keeps you full and satisfied without any of the artificial stuff you'd rather avoid.
