Egg Muffin Cups (21 Day Fix and The Master's Hammer & Chisel Approved)

Are you a morning person? I AM [you know, like that annoying happy morning person. Sorry but I'm not sorry! ]. However,  I have never been a breakfast food person...except for all the things I shouldn't eat! (muffins, bagels, sugary cereals, waffles, etc.) Can you relate? 

So, when I find something that is delicious, quick, easy, AND healthy, I HAVE TO SHARE!  

Not only do these take no time, you can get rid of any veggies or other ingredients in your refrigerator that are on the verge of going bad. I threw in some kale to this recipe and have done mushrooms and all sorts of other nutritious fillers. They are super duper easy and super duper delish!

I also make an extra batch sometimes and freeze them for an easy go-to breakfast or snack!  

SO, how do you make them? Simple. Follow the steps below!

21 Day Fix Approved Pizza

This is by FAR one of our favorite meals to make because it feels like we are indulging. I'm salivating thinking about it and think I'll make it again tomorrow! I teach my clients to live by the 80/20 rule and this meal is ok to eat any time but feels SO much like something we should only enjoy during our 20% "treats". 

If you like pizza, you are going to thank me for this one. #yourewelcome

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED

Spinach

Grape Tomatoes

Feta

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Garlic

Chicken Sausage or any protein (lean)

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Directions

1. Preheat your oven (400 F)

2. Sautee garlic in EVOO

3. Add Spinach (and a dash of salt)

4. Cook Chicken Sausage or protein of choice in separate skillet

5. Spread spinach on the crust like "sauce"

6. Cut tomatoes and chicken sausage and evenly place spinach

7. Add feta

8. DEVOUR

 No but really...why does an entire bag of spinach shrink and shrivel to basically NOTHING! Sometimes I use 2 bags to get in extra greens if I have it. 

Here's how it works for 21 Day Fix...

1 YELLOW - Crust

1 GREEN - Spinach & Tomatoes

1 RED - Chicken Sausage/Protein

1 TSP - EVOO

1 BLUE - Feta Cheese

Let me know how you like it!!!

In Love & Light,
