Yummy High Protein Breakfast Without the Sugar Crash
Donuts, bagels, toast, pancakes, waffles, croissants, cereal, breakfast bars. These are the things we hear about when it comes to breakfast. 

But here’s the problem. 

Carbs for breakfast lead to a blood sugar crash followed by cravings throughout the day - setting yourself up for one bad choice after another. 

Carbs for breakfast are typically the easiest choices, but not the best way to start our day.

And I get it. The carbs are comfort food. 

But we need to get in the habit of loving foods that love us back - and not in the toxic cycle of eating bad foods for comfort or convenience and then wondering why we feel less than our best.

Planning ahead is so key. And I know this can be tough, especially on a busy schedule. 

My favorite solution for a high PROTEIN breakfast is an egg bake. And it’s actually good enough to have for dinner if you really wanted to!

We’re currently still in farmers market season which is great for a lot of different reasons. 

Local, organic & in-season foods are the most nutritious for us. And the farmers market is the perfect place to find these!

You also know you’re getting the freshest produce possible, and you’re supporting a small business rather than giving your money to the large corporations.

The most time consuming part of making an egg bake is simply the vegetable prep. The washing and chopping. 

If you absolutely need to (depending on the day, the week, or just your season of life) you can purchase pre-washed, pre-chopped veggies from the store.

Here are some of my favorites to use. 
  • Spinach
  • Sweet peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Tomatoes
  • Mushrooms
Going to the farmers market also gives you a chance to try something you’ve maybe never heard of before!

I typically choose about 3 different kinds of vegetables, and then I choose a meat. Either bacon or mild Italian sausage.

I pre-cook the meat in a skillet on the cooktop, then I add in my veggies and sauté. Once that’s done, I whisk up a dozen eggs and combine it all in a 9x12 glass pan & bake at 400F for 35 minutes.

It’s so yummy! And so easy to grab and go!! It can be eaten hot or cold, and it’s soooo much better for you than your “typical” breakfast choices. 

Plus it’s a super easy way to get vegetables in at the most difficult time of day to get your veggies in and like it.
