Protein in the AM is key for me. It helps keep me feeling full all day and studies have shown that it helps reduce food cravings. I also struggle with getting veggies in the early part of the day. If you are on the go each morning this is a great recipe to have prepped on Sundays and you can grab and go. Here is one of our go-to, kid-friendly, hubby-approved morning recipes. Ingredients: 12 eggs 1-2 cups of veggies, your choice. I tend to use cherry tomatoes and organic spinach 4-6 slices of turkey bacon, nitrite free bacon OR chicken sausage (just enough to fill the bottom of the cups) 1/2-1 cup of mozzarella or cheese of your choice salt and pepper to taste Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray nonstick oil on muffin pan. For this recipe, I'm using a regular size muffin pan. You can do mini l, but your times will change. 2. Precook your meat and line the bottom of each tin. 3. Add veggies. 4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and pour into each muffin tin. Should be about 2/3 full. 5. Top with cheese, salt and pepper. *Note: feel free to add herbs like basil and any seasoning that you love. I've even done nutritional yeast and it's delicious. 6. Bake 25 minutes or until center is set. They will rise a little.
Serving size is 2 muffins. For my 21 Day Fixers, 2 Muffins= 1 red, 1/2 green, 1/2-1 blue Share with your friends and I would love to see your different variations.

Muffins have always been a really great snack. I consider it as a light snack that I can eat while on the go, it is really important for me, being a college student and a part time worker. Most of the times, I do not have much time to eat a decent meal, all I get to eat is a cup of noodles and some bottled milk. I think that muffins, are my best source of nutrients at this very moment.
