Delicious & Nutritious Breakfast Idea

As I am gearing up to head out for my group workout with my local Fit Yummy Mummy's, I wanted to share a very simple yet super tasty breakfast idea!

This is a variation to some of the recipes already shared on Club FYM and any way you put this together it is absolutely delicious!  

P1080757

Power Packed Ingredients:

  1. 2 whole eggs
  2. 1/4 cup (2) egg whites
  3. Red pepper
  4. 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
  5. 2 tbsp flax meal
  6. Fresh blueberries

How  To Make This:

Beat eggs and egg whites together along with 1 tbsp of the flax meal.  Heat up skillet with sunflower oil.  Add red peppers to skillet once hot, allow to sauté for 1-2 minutes on their own.  Add the eggs and then sprinkle the other tbsp of flax meal over top.

Once eggs are almost set, add spinach to the skillet and allow to sauté  another 1-2 minutes or until wilted and tender.

Transfer to a plate and add fresh blueberries on top.   

Enjoy along with your favorite cup of green tea! I personally love Honey Lemon Ginseng by Tetley or Licorice Spice by Stash!!

Variations:

You may chose to use frozen spinach which is just fine!

Also, frozen blueberries are great but should added to the plate first and then topped off with the eggs to allow them to thaw.

Other FYM's have used Greek yogurt to finish off this meal as well!

Let me know what you think and  how you can make this dish even yummier with your own additions!

Wishing for a Pot of Gold!

Here are just a few great shots of the kids admiring a beautiful rainbow overlooking our vegetable garden last week.

With this wet summer we’ve had so far it has made for easy weed pulling but also much less watering on our part of the garden.  Everything is well on it’s way now and we’ve already enjoyed some meals with fresh spinach, peas, green onion, and peppers!
