    Quick Breakfast I love to make and is easy for an on the go sandwich in the morning

    - Healthy Life 90 Calorie English Muffin (toasted)
    - Laughing Cow cheese wedge (35 calories) - spread on both sides of the muffin
    *Have also substitued with light cheese slice*

    In a small glass cup, spray the inside with cooking spray first, combine 1/4 c. egg whites, 3 spinach leaves chopped, 1 tsp. diced frozen onion, 1 tsp. diced frozen green pepper, and I toss in a few sliced jalapeno's

    Microwave mixture in glass cup for approximately 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes depending on your microwave

    Egg cooks up in microwave as a omelet patty, tip the glass cup over one side of the muffin, top off with other side and you have your very own healthy egg muffin sandwich.

    Total calories = 155 Prep Time: 3 min Cook Time: 3 min

    I usually pair this with Fruit, but you could make 2 and eat it and stil stay under 400 calories!

    BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    This weekend my husband and I came up with a make-ahead recipe for breakfast quiche "muffins". Despite the name, they're not actual muffins. We just made them in muffin tins. We discovered they tasted WONDERFUL and this morning found out they heat up fantastically. Just microwave for 45-50 seconds and you're good to go!




    Here's the recipe for 12 muffins:

    4 whole eggs
    8 egg whites
    1 cup Jimmy Dean's Turkey sausage crumbles
    1/2 cup shredded cheese (we used marble jack)
    1 cup chopped broccoli
    1/2 cup chopped green pepper
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/4 cup skim milk
    1/2 tbsp veggie oil
    1/2 tsp baking powder salt and pepper (to taste)

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pam muffin tin. Sautee veggies and brown sausage (use a little olive oil if necessary). Combine eggs, egg whites, milk, oil, cheese, and baking powder in a bowl. Evenly divide veggie/sausage mixture in muffin tin. Then evenly divide egg mixture over the veggie/sausage mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

    Per serving (1 muffin): 74 calories, 2 carbs, 4 grams fat, 8 grams protein, 182 grams of sodium

    You can substitute any veggies if you like or add more cheese. Just remember to adjust the nutritional content.

    Enjoy!

    THIS I copied from another post, love it. So easy to make & then it takes just a few seconds to microwave in the morning.

    I made a bunch of these Banana Bread Protein Muffins over the weekend for me and my husband to eat. They don't take much time to make or bake, but they do require protein powder (which can be pricey - we bought a big bag at Costco, which will make ~450 muffins at about 11 cents of protein powder each). But they are 58 calories and 7 grams of protein if you use the same brand of protein powder in the recipe. Otherwise all the ingredients are pretty basic, and if the oats you use are gluten free, then the muffins are gluten free :smile:

    I find they are really filling, and so I can only eat one. Then if I want a second one an hour or two later, I can do that, and I still have only consumed 116 calories.
