Mornings are busy... trying to squeeze in a cardio session, get 2 boys up, showered, dressed, fed, and ready for school, and still squeeze in breakfast for myself. Keeping oats, eggwhites, salsa, veggies, and a variety of lean proteins on hand definately helps to throw together a quick, clean and tasty breakfast.
I usually always have eggwhites and oats for breakfast, and change up the mix-ins so I don't get bored. Today's creation was as follows:
1/3c. oats
3/4c. eggwhites (I like the Kirkland brand from Costco because they come with 6 cartons in the box)
2 slices of Hormel, Nitrite-free smoked ham
1c. zucchini
2Tbsp. salsa
Cooking spray
I chop up the ham and zucchini and throw it in the pan and lightly cook them. Then pour the eggwhites on top. Once the eggs are completely cooked I mix in the cooked oats (just mircrowave them in a small glass bowl with enough water to almost cover them) and salsa.
I know eggs and oats may sound like a weird combo, but give them a try, if you like both of them seperately, you'll probably love them together as much as I do.
