New Breakfast Recipes from Deb

Wanted to thank Get Fit NH Bootcamp member Deb Saks for forwarding a pretty cool idea to me.

Breakfast is a tough meal, and this is one way to get a fast, healthy breakfast in – no excuses.

Here’s a sample that we modified just a bit – The Get Fit NH Bootcamp way:

Chicken Fajita Breakfast Mug:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 oz. cooked chicken breast
• 2 egg white / 1 whole egg
• 1 tbsp. cheddar cheese
• Season to taste (fajita seasoning, etc.)

Directions:

Coat a large microwave safe mug with a light coating of peanut oil.  Add the vegetables, chicken, and seasonings – stir well. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until vegetables are soft. Add eggs and microwave for an additional minute. Add the cheese and microwave 30 seconds at a time until set.

Let the mix cool and enjoy. A little yogurt or fat free sour cream on top adds a special treat!

How Easy Is That?

Chopping the vegetables ahead of time make this recipe super fast, and it has all the elements we are looking for to get us through to lunch, especially those veggies and a good dose of protein.

This recipe can be adapted a bunch of ways. Vegetarian, turkey ham, broccoli and tomatoes – the possibilities are endless!
