Getting tired of your usual breakfast of eggs and/or oatmeal?
Of course those are my staples too! But lately for myself and my clients we have been needing a good switch. This recipe is high in protein, rich in complex carbs, and packes 1-2 servings of veggies - perfect macros to start your day on the right side of eating clean :)
This dish is a brunch-inspired recipe that is easy to throw together, makes a TON (means great for meal prep) and - best part - it tastes amazing served warm or cold.
This past week when I was traveling to Athens, Ga for work I actually packed 3 servings in my carry-on-bag (yes, I fly with food!) and had them with a fried egg white on top every morning. (Fried egg whites actually taste the exact same microwaved who would have thought :)
So here is the pure awesome-ness:
