This is a quick make-ahead high-quality protein breakfast!
Because it is made ahead of time it’s a quick grab, heat and go morning pick me up!
Eggs are great protein source to fuel workouts and the vegetables add fiber and potassium.
Avocados are a great source of heart-healthy fat to keep hunger at bay. They also are a great source of vitamin B6. B vitamins help the body convert food to energy which is particularly important for athletes as they train; their bodies need to access that energy easily.
Ingredients
- ½ large red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large avocado, seeded, peeled and diced
- 1.5 c. fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and roughly chopped
- ¾ tsp chipotle seasoning
- 8 whole eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
- 3 Tbsp feta cheese
Preparation

- Beat eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.
- Pour egg mixture over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle each egg with cheese.

I was so thrilled to see recipe for Dairy free cheese as a grandson who we have regularly is dairy free..but.. egg intolerant and it’s so expensive to buy. But now I’m going to make it. ?
The mince pie recipe looks good …make and fill my freezer with these too. Great for quick lunch and grandchildren if cause.
Keep the recipes coming..I love them.
