For the fitness-enthusiast, stay-home mom, career-minded individuals, and everything-else-in-between, I offer you a lifesaver: healthy breakfast muffins.
What makes these healthy breakfast muffins so outstanding? They’re filled with proteins, various nutrients, and can be prepared in advance. May I also add you can freeze them for a week and microwave them for 30-60 seconds when faced with an extra busy morning? In my opinion, eating healthy is 100% feasible regardless of the schedule you may have.
In New York I worked three jobs, coached and mentored girls in a non-profit, and trained for my races. The best way I maintained my focus and a clear mind was with a clean breakfast and morning workout. I’m serious. While I loved the delicious pastries from Maison Kayser for breakfast, I often felt lethargic the entire day because of the negative nutritional value. Check out how easy the recipe is below!
Ingredients
- 9 Large Eggs
- 1 Tofu Sausage
- 1 1/2 Cups Kale/Spinach Mix
- 1 Medium Tomato
- 1/2 Cup Red Bellpepper
- 1/2 Cup Green Bellpepper
- 1/2 Cup Yellow Bellpepper
- 1/3 Cup Portobella Mushrooms
- 1 Teaspoon of Pepper
- Dash of Sea Salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Finely chop the kale/spinach mix and then steam. Steaming it allows it to fold into the egg mix easier.
- Chop the rest of the vegetables to your personal preference of size. I prefer mine to be on the smaller size.
- Heat up the tofu sausage as described in the package and then mince the meat.
- Whisk the eggs and then add the tofu sausage, vegetables, pepper, and salt. Pour mixture into greased muffin tin. Pam, butter, or coconut oil are acceptable. Fill the tin 3/4 full, then bake for 18-25min, or until it slightly browns on the sides.
- Eat immediately, or allow to cool and store in freezer zip-lock bag. To serve from the freezer simply heat up muffin for 30-60 seconds.
- These are great on their own or with 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and fresh fruit.
TIP: You can essentially add whatever vegetables you like. The ones listed above are of my personal preference.
You need to take care of yourself because you deserve it. Make your mind and body happy with these healthy breakfast muffins!
