Let’s be honest, no one likes or has time to cook breakfast, otherwise cereal, overnight oatmeal and instant pot steel cut oats would be dead in the water. I’m “normal” when it comes to breakfast. However, working from home I have a luxury of eating breakfast whenever I want to, whatever I want in the fridge or pantry (but please don’t think I’m feasting on smoothie bowls). There is that to it and I’m not denying.
For everyone else who has to rush out the door, this healthy breakfast meal prep is your secret weapon to eating protein packed and veggie loaded breakfast Mexican style (unless you don’t like eggs). Sauteed broccoli, cauliflower and bell pepper, with scrambled eggs, salsa and whole grain toast.
If you are a male or a very hungry female, use more eggs. You can also sprinkle cheese on top of veggies or eggs, or just sprinkle some cheese. What the heck?!
