Smoothies are the go-to around this house when it comes to a quick healthy breakfast. I can pack so many vitamins and nutrients into a glass. They can be taken on the go and I’m always switching up the flavors. You can’t go wrong!
The only drawback? They can leave me shivering long after my drink is gone during the cold winter months.
Even when I’m craving a warm breakfast, though, it can be hard to come up with something healthy AND able to be eaten in a car or while walking to school. I think I’ve solved the problem with these absolutely delicious and savory egg muffin cups.
It has all the same benefits of a smoothie. The muffin cups are filled with vitamins and nutrients, plus enough protein to keep you full until lunch. This recipe also has the ability to be switched up every week with new vegetables and breakfast meats.
I can also make it healthier with just egg whites and omitting the bacon. And if I’m really short on time, I can make a double batch and freeze them. Just 30 seconds in microwave and these are ready to go.
