The Best Breakfast EVER.
A good, healthy breakfast, as we all know, is the best way to start the day. Here is a sample of a weekend breakfast (when you have a little time) that I will typically make. It is low cal, low carb, and high on taste.
Obviously you can substitue various fruits and veggies to your liking. Enjoy!
Carolyn' Eggcellent Breakfast
What You'll Need For the Scramble:
Zero Cal Cooking Spray (Pam)
1/2 Cup Egg Whites
1/2 Tomato, Diced Small
Broccoli
Spinach, Chopped
Mushrooms
White Onion, Diced Small
Cayenne Pepper (to rev the metabolism)
Paprika
Salsa
What You'll Need for the Fruit Salad:
3 Strawberries, Sliced
2 Orange Slices
1 Kiwi Slice
3 Grapes, Sliced
3 Raspberries
Watermelon Chunks (About 1/4 Cup)
Cantaloupe Chunks (About 1/4 Cup)
Low Fat Cottage Cheese (2 tbsp)
Cinnamon
To Prepare:
Spray a nonstick pan with zero cal cooking spray, heat on low-medium heat. Wait a few minutes and add all of the ingredients for the scramble, besides the salsa and paprika. You can add a little bit of water to keep the scramble from drying out if needed.
While the scramble is cooking, stir periodically. As it heats, you can add 2 tbsp of salsa and mix altogether. When finished, sprinkle the scramble with paprika.
For the fruit salad, wash and cut all fruit, and top with 2 tbsp of low fat cottage cheese, sprinkling the fruit and cottage cheese with cinnamon for an extra antioxidant boost.
This recipe doesn't take too long and tastes great. Depending on what type of fruit you are using, this scramble and fruit salad together, runs you only about 175-225 cals.
Bon Appetit!
