For many people, a bagel with cream cheese is their go-to breakfast dish. Unfortunately, bagels are not the most nutritious choice for those who are trying to cut back on their sodium intake. 'The Kitchn' blog provides an easy alternative for those who are looking to replace their [morning bagel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bronco) with something a bit healthier. Egg muffins are a great breakfast alternative because they provide a [grain-free base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-cinnamon-chip-muffins) for your favorite toppings. Simply split them in half and slather them with shmear and lox. These tasty egg muffins are not only grain-free, but they are also low in sodium. While they may not taste exactly like a bagel, these healthy egg cups are a nutritious alternative for those who adhere to a restricted diet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Grain-free Breakfasts:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative and tasty grain-free alternatives for breakfast. - **Low-sodium Foods:** Potential for the creation of new low-sodium food options to cater to health-conscious individuals. - **Healthy Convenience Foods:** Growing demand for convenient and nutritious breakfast options that cater to dietary restrictions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Scope for food manufacturers to produce grain-free and low-sodium breakfast products. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for companies in the health and wellness industry to develop and market low-sodium and grain-free breakfast options. - **Recipe Blogs and Apps:** Potential for recipe blogs and apps to provide creative and nutritious breakfast ideas that cater to dietary restrictions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolaty Keto Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great.md) - [Egg-Based Snack Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muffin-maker.md) - [Protein Breakfast Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-breakfast-tacos.md) - [Clean-Label Protein Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muffits.md) - [Gluten-Free Egg Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-patties.md) - [Cauliflower Breakfast Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heat-and-eat-cups.md) - [Healthy Egg White Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-white-wrap.md) - [Ready-to-Eat Omelet Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crepini.md) - [Superfood English Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-english-muffins-queen-st-bakery.md)
