I am here to share a bunch of fatty liver breakfast ideas to not only help you eat healthier food that helps with your reversal of MASLD (formerly NAFLD), but also to prove that it’s still possible to have a really varied diet with fatty liver disease.

I also have a suggested weekly meal plan here – make sure to check it out after you’re done reading this article for a bit of a “hold my hand” type of guidance on what to eat throughout the day.

While I did share the specifications of the Fatty Liver Diet that I followed to reverse my condition, it’s easier when you actually see things put into practice. And this is exactly what you’ll get below: plenty of breakfast ideas for fatty liver.

Chia seeds pudding

chia pudding

I’m starting with this because Chia is most likely not a regular in your diet – at least it wasn’t part of mine until being diagnosed with a fatty liver.

But these seeds, even though a bit more on the expensive side, are extremely easy to prepare and can can be mixed up with all sorts of fruits, nuts and other seeds and even vegetables to offer a ton of variety.

Just add three table spoons of Chia Seeds in a bowl, add 10 tablespoons of water or low fat milk and go wild: either add salt, one teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, and chopped onions for a great salty breakfast; or add half a teaspoon of honey, some fresh berries (and/or any other fruits you want), coconut flakes and a bit of cinnamon and you have a healthy, good for a fatty liver breakfast ready.

Oh, and it’s also delicious and really fills you up – and you only have to wait about 10-20 minutes for the seeds to suck all that liquid up.

You can try to add more water or milk if needed – not a problem with that! Experiment until you find your own perfect chia pudding. Afterwards, it will be difficult to stop having it regularly!

If you don’t have chia seeds in your pantry, you can get some from Amazon (affiliate link) to quickly start enjoying this delicious breakfast!

Guacamole on toast (whole wheat)

With “guacamole” I don’t mean the one you can get from the store (unless you are 100% certain that it’s made from natural ingredients only).

Instead, make your own. It’s fast, it’s delicious… and avocado is one of those superfoods for the liver you must include in your diet.

To prepare it, simply get one ripe avocado, peel it up and put it in a bowl.

Pour over it two teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice and one-two cloves of garlic, minced.

Mix it with a hand blender and a fork and add any or all of the following: chopped onions, chopped cherry tomato, chopped peppers or basil leaves.

You can spread it over fresh toast made from whole wheat bread only (eat a maximum of 2 slices of bread per day!) and share the rest with a loved one – or store in the fridge for later.

Alternately, you can simply squash half an avocado on a slice of bread and top it with onions and chopped tomato if you’re in a hurry. It’s equally delicious and a solid option for fatty liver.

And if you want to skip on the bread – which is always a good idea – you can try ketobreads, an amazing alternative or add some natural nachos.

Fruit salad

fruit salad for fatty liver

You can surely eat a bunch of fruits for breakfast. I personally choose something that fills you up (one medium-sized banana) and half a cup blueberries.

You can eat any combination of fruits, just don’t eat too much and try to mix them up, using fruits that are low in sugar to keep carbs under control.

I talked more in depth about eating fruits with fatty liver, so make sure to read that article as well for all the details.

There are many people who say that fruits are too sugary to be had, but I disagree: our bodies are able to handle the sugars differently than processed sugars since we’ve been eating fruits since the first humans roamed the earth.

Don’t eat tons of them – keep portions under control – but don’t ignore them completely. I haven’t (I ate even 2 bananas per day) and I still reversed my fatty liver.

Home Made Oatmeal (Porridge)

Even though I am not a huge fan of cereals, oatmeal is in a different area and not only delicious, but also extremely healthy.

Make sure to pick plain oats (fine, ideally), without any extras (chocolate, sugars and such) and add your own toppings: a bit of honey and fresh or frozen fruits if you can’t stomach the oats alone.

Boil the whole thing in low fat milk (mix in some water too in order to keep calories and fat as low as possible) or prepare an over-night oats recipe. I am sharing my favorite oatmeal for fatty liver recipe here if you need it.

Create your own cheese spread

I love eating this and it’s extremely fast and tasty: get a can of cottage cheese (low fat ideally) and mix it with all the spices that you love (you can also add a bit of salt).

I use turmeric (curcuma), red paprika powder, caraway seeds and a pinch of pepper.

Add some finely chopped onions and/or minced garlic and spread on whole wheat bread. If you add many spices, it will taste even better the next day!

You can also mix your cheese spread with basically any other healthy vegetables or herbs that I have not mentioned (like tomatoes, peppers, top with lettuce and so on).

Just remember that you should not eat more than 2 slices of bread each day!

Yogurt and berries

If you enjoy eating yogurt, here’s some good news for you: you can have a delicious and sweet breakfast if you mix some berries with it.

Don’t use full fat yogurt (or Greek yogurt). Use low fat instead and have in mind that this won’t last you very long, so if you’re used with hearty breakfasts, this might be more suitable for a snack instead.

You can read more about low fat vs full fat dairy here.

Quinoa salad

Just like Chia, it might not be the food you’re most used with, but it’s also delicious and extremely nourishing.

You can prepare some amazing salads for breakfast – such as the Quinoa with Corn and Scallions recommended on Just a Taste. Delicious and healthy – and quinoa is quickly available on Amazon. (affiliate link)

Fresh vegetables / salad

Why not start the day with some fresh vegetables? Either mix your favorite veggies in a bowl and eat a salad (add a bit of low fat white cheese too!) or eat them separately.

You can go one day for a cabbage salad with carrots and green onions, one day with a tomato, red pepper and cucumber salad or just mix them around as you want to!

I know that salads and quinoa are not necessarily associated with breakfast, but there’s no rule that doesn’t allow you to have them early in the morning.

Skinny Omelette

Skinny omelette

This would completely use up my recommended amount of two eggs per week, but you don’t have to eat it daily! A delicious omelette that you will love, guaranteed! Check out the recipe here.

Alternately, you can make your own: use just the egg whites if you want to keep it as low calorie as possible, or mix one whole egg with the egg whites from another.

Add healthy toppings or eat with freshly cut tomato and cucumber. Tasty and filling!

Toast with avocados and ricotta

Back to avocados!

Quick and healthy recipe here – and also delicious: toast some whole wheat bread, spread some ricotta on them and adds some this slices of avocado. Sprinkle some spices and optionally eat with a cup of low fat yogurt.

You can also replace the ricotta with a garlic clove and rub it over the toast when it’s warm, then place the avocado slices over – it’s insanely delicious!

Just remember that I recommend eating a maximum of 2 slices of bread per day if you have a fatty liver disease.

Healthy Egg Muffins

You can’t have this during the same week with the Skinny Omelette above, but you can mix them throughout a month in order to keep the egg counts on the lower side.

Check out the recipe here for your healthy egg muffins and take care not to over-eat: remember that you can only have 2 eggs per week!

Viking Crispbread with salmon

Viking Crispbread with salmon

It sounds really nice, doesn’t it? It also tastes delicious and if you can find the crispbread in the stores (check the ingredients and make sure that it’s without chemicals and preservatives) you can have an almost-instant breakfast.

Add some ricotta or a thin layer of yogurt and some wild salmon and you have your breakfast ready! If you want to, you can make your own crispbread – follow the recipe here.

    • I was referring to whole eggs. You would most likely be fine if you only ate egg whites and had more than two a week.
