🍳 43g of Protein Breakfast Recipe!

It’s true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it gives you the energy to take on anything life throws at you!

As a girly who prioritizes protein but doesn’t track things like macros or calorie count, this 43g of protein egg bowl has been a go to of mine as I have been on my results producing fitness journey!

It’s sooooo easy, yet so yummy:

🍳 Scramble 3 eggs (I prefer brown pasture raised) and add them to a pan, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a chili powder to taste

🍳 As the eggs start to cook, place 3 frozen Turkey sausage links into the microwave, following instructions on the package. When those are done, chop into smaller, bite sized pieces and set aside

🍳 Once the eggs have cooked enough to be more solid in form, add in 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and Pico de Gallo (I don’t usually measure the Pico) and cook until it is less watery

🍳 When egg/cottage cheese/pico mixture is done, stir in the chopped Turkey sausage and top with shredded cheese of your choice (I usually use the taco blends)

I hope you enjoy!!

... Read moreBreakfast is often heralded as the most important meal of the day, offering the energy needed to tackle daily challenges. This high-protein breakfast not only provides significant protein, crucial for muscle repair and growth, but also features healthy ingredients that contribute to an overall balanced diet. Eggs are a fantastic source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients. When scrambled with spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder, they become not just nutritious but also delightful in flavor. The addition of turkey sausage links not only increases the protein content but also offers a fulfilling taste that's hard to resist. Incorporating cottage cheese into the mix not only enhances the protein content further but also adds creaminess to the dish. Cottage cheese is rich in casein protein, which digests slowly and helps to keep you feeling full longer—perfect for anyone on a fitness journey or managing weight. Topping the egg and cottage cheese mixture with Pico de Gallo introduces fresh flavors and promotes hydration, thanks to the tomatoes. Feeling adventurous? Experiment with different ingredients to customize this breakfast bowl to your preferences. Adding vegetables like spinach or kale can further boost the nutritional profile, providing fiber and essential vitamins. Overall, this 43g protein breakfast egg bowl is not only a quick pre-workout fuel but a versatile dish that can fit into any meal plan, making it perfect for busy mornings or leisurely weekends.
