Book Review: Breakfast in Five by Vicky and Rami of Tasteaholics

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated, and you don’t need to feel hungry to lose weight. However, life gets busy and most of you probably don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen every day. That's why I love quick & easy recipes that are made with common ingredients I have at hand.

My friends, fellow bloggers and the authors of the newly released Spiralizer Skinny cookbook, Vicky and Rami of Tasteaholics, created three amazing low-carb eBooks for busy cooks: Breakfast in Five, Lunch in Five and Dinner in Five. (Disclaimer: affiliate links)

Each eBook includes 30 delicious quick-prep recipes and easy-to-follow low carb tips for beginners. Recipes include beautiful photos so you know exactly what each meal looks like, and nutritional breakdowns to easily track what you're eating.

Main Highlights

You can make any breakfast, lunch or dinner "In Five":

  • each recipe can be prepared in 5 easy-to-follow steps
  • with up to 5 commonly found ingredients
  • with no more than 5 grams of net carbs per serving

Each eBook is an instant download, so you are literally one click away from making delicious recipes such as Breakfast Tacos, Burritos, Blueberry Almond Pancakes, Jalapeño Chicken Casserole, Cheeseburger Crepes, Avocado Lime Salmon, and Chicken Parmesan!

Keto Morning Hot Pockets

For my review, I chose Morning Hot Pockets from the Breakfast in Five eBook. They are filled with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon but you can use anything you like - even sweet fillings would work. I made them a week ago while my mom was visiting, and she couldn't believe they were low-carb. They tasted just like the breakfast pockets she buys at a local bakery back in Prague.

Nut-Free Alternatives

Instead of 1/3 cup almond flour, use 2 heaped tablespoons (24 g/ 0.9 oz) of coconut flour + 1 oz (28 g) cream cheese, or 4 tablespoons (1 oz/ 28 g) flaxmeal + 1 oz (28 g) cream cheese. If using coconut flour, brush the top of the pockets with a small amount of melted ghee or coconut oil before baking.

Step-by-step

  1. Cook the bacon and eggs. Prepare the dough: melt the shredded mozzarella (in a microwave oven or on the stove over a low heat) & add the almond flour. Stir until the dough is well-combined.
    To crisp up bacon: Place the bacon strips in a large pan and add a few tablespoons of water. Cook over medium-high heat until the water starts to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the water evaporates and the bacon fat is rendered. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the bacon is lightly browned and crispy.
    To scramble eggs: Grease the skillet where you cooked the bacon with half of the butter or ghee and add both eggs. Cook over a medium-low heat until opaque, stirring constantly. Take off the heat and then add the remaining butter.

  2. Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper (I used a silicon mat and silicon rolling pin).

  3. Place the bacon slices and scrambled eggs along the center (I cut my bacon into pieces).

  4. Fold over and seal the dough. Make some holes for releasing the steam while baking.

  5. Bake at 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional), or 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted) for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

    Really like this site. Review and look at recipes all the time. This not only helps me, but I have fun trying the recipes. Thanks. Mary

    ***cow dairy that is. We can do goat and sheep dairy.

  3. Holly

    Hi Martina! I must confess, I am LOVING your Chaffel cookbook! My question here is can I use whole block manchego cheese (sheeps milk that I grate myself so no starches)?
    I always have to try to sub most dairy out. Thanks in advance!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      I'm sorry it took a while to reply, I have been enjoying the fourth trimester with our twins 😊
      I'm sorry but that won't work :-( You need mozzarella as that will give the dough the elasticity needed. You might want to try 30% fat Edam or Emmental - these two might work. Manchego won't work as it won't make the dough elastic. You could also get mozzarella blocks which you can grate yourself.

      1. Holly

        No problem I’m just grateful for your reply. I saw your beautiful babies on IG! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

        1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

          Thank you so much! ❤️

    Great recipe! One suggestion I would offer is to work with the dough while it is still a little warm or nuke for 30 -60 seconds in the microwave if it cools down before you roll it out. When it is cold, the dough can get crumbly and become hard to maneuver without breaking, even when rolling between layers of parchment paper. When warm, I was able to press out gently with my fingers into a large enough rectangular shape, no rolling pin required! Thanks for the recipe! I'd love to experiment with a sweet jam filling next 😊

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Great tip! I started doing this with all the recipes using this dough. It is usually something I need to do then there are more pieces to work with like in these: Easy Keto Pigs in a Blanket

    When you say *flaxmeal* do you mean Flax meal or do you really mean Whole Milled (Ground) flax seed?
    Ground Flax seed still contain all the healthy fats and Omega-3's but Flax Meal doesn't.
    When a manufacturer makes flax seed oil, they must press the seeds to extract the oil. This produces flax seed oil and leaves behind crushed flax seeds as a byproduct.
    The oil will be sold separately as flax seed oil, while the crushed flax seeds will be sold as flax seed meal.
    Because the oil has been extracted, these crushed flax seeds have been stripped of their oils and healthy fats (polyunsaturated fats and omega-3s).

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      That's interesting! I usually make my own by "powdering" whole flax seeds in a food processor. There's some heat created when you do that so I typically se frozen flax seeds to do that to preserve the fragile omega 3 oils in it. I've tried ready-made milled flax and to me these two looked the same texture wise. I think what you may be referring to is "defatted flax meal/ flax flour" which is a product I've discovered recently and still haven't tried baking with it. This is a very fine, de-oiled version of flax meal.

    2. Kris

      I don't see flaxseed in this recipe. ?

      1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

        Hi Kris, check the "nut-free alternatives" section in the recipe.

  6. Mrs. DeMaldo

    SO delicious and fulfilling. It was so easy to make and the "bread" tastes amazing.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Glad you enjoyed! ❤️

  7. Lauren

    Have you tried freezing this? and if so about how long would you say it could last?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Lauren, all the time, this freezes really well! I'd say about 3 months in a freezer bag, or up to 4 days in the fridge.

  8. Lisa

    Just found this recipe recently and I love it! I even took pictures of it and sent your link to a bunch of friends. I can't wait to experiment with it...adding veggies, etc. Thanks so much! Lisa

  9. Sherri L Pearson

    I'm looking for easy make ahead items. Do these freeze well? and if so, how would your recommend reheating and how long?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Sherri, they do indeed freeze well! I reheat mine in the oven (just using about 150 C fan (300 F) until warm, just a few minutes.

  10. Margaret

    I am new to Keto and faced with coming end of year holidays. Recently got a Dash waffle maker and am looking forward to making chaffles.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Awesome, I'll be posting a complete guide to chaffles soon. I've tried every possible option there is 😊

    I'm so happy I stumbled across your site. Everything looks amazing!

    Hi Martina, just giving you the heads up that this recipe has been stolen and republished in its entirety on flysnacks.com, alongside mine and many other recipes. Thought you'd want to know.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Thank you so much Antya! I will file a DMCA - much appreciated!

  13. Aimee

    I love these! I make them all the time.
    Can you make a pizza out of this? So only the crust and than bake en than toppings and baking again..? Anyone tried this?
    And for how long will you be baking the crust first?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      It would make a fantastic pizza crust 😊 I'd only be guessing but I'd bake it for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness.

  14. John Tribulato

    Love the recipe. I love the fact that you included all the nutrition info and the macro info too. All those great details make me very happy. Thank you for making this easy for me.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Thank you John! We included the detailed breakdown in a recent update 😊

  15. Margie

    Your recipes look amazing

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Thank you!

    Is all the fat coming from the bacon? I'm on a macro plan and the protein/carb ratio looks awesome, but the fat would eat up almost my entire day.
    I'm thinking if I cut the bacon out I could do it...

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      It's all of the ingredients apart from the eggs. Mozzarella, ghee and almond flour are also quite high in fat. You may want to try this instead: 5-Ingredient Keto Spanakopita

  17. Heather

    What can replace the almond flour? I’m highly allergic to it but really need to find a low carb alternative. Thank you

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      You can use this dough instead (using flax meal): 5-Ingredient Keto Ham & Cheese Pockets

  18. Melissa K

    This dough recipe is amazing! Who know that cheese and a little almond flour would taste just like regular dough! One trick I found is to microwave the cheese at 50% power for 30 second increments. This really helps make sure it doesnt burn. I am currently obsessed with these pockets because they are so versatile. I've done pizza ones, chicken pesto ones, taco ones...not sure what's next! These are SO easy and delicious. I'm fairly new to the keto lifestyle and these will be a staple for my journey here on out. Thank you!!

    My husband loved this! Thank you so much for sharing!! It was easy and soooooo good. I served it with sugar less ketchup. Definitely will make again. 🙂🤗

    Since switching to the keto diet I have been looking for an easy breakfast I can take on the go. These were perfect! I can make a bunch ahead of time and reheat them while getting ready in the morning. Best part is you would never know it was not bread!
