Are your eating habits determined by what’s most convenient for you and your life? Do you want to lose weight but rely on convenience foods because you are always on the go?
Look, we are all busy…especially this time of year. That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and prepare.
Two of these confetti egg muffins are packed with 18 grams of protein, veggies and healthy fat, making them an ideal option when you are busy on the move. They are also packed with flavor which makes them enjoyable to eat (no blandness here-they’re even good cold! ).
The best part…
Your whole family will love these. I’m always making egg muffins, but these have to be the current family fave (my 3 year old son even named them).
So mom, you can still work toward your weight loss goals while eating the same foods as your family.
Let’s face it, we are all busy…but with a little planning ahead and some multi tasking (I pop these in the oven during bath time), you can prep a batch or two of these healthy portables early in the week (they are freezable too!) just in time for the midweek madness.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1.25 cup egg whites
- 3/4 cup broccoli florets chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted red pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup fire roasted corn
- 4 oz turkey sausage cooked
- 1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese divided in half
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp Kosher/sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Add eggs and egg whites to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Add broccoli, red pepper, corn, sausage, cheese, and spice blend to the mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
- Take a 1/3 cup measuring cup and pour mixture into each cavity. When all cavities have been filled, place the muffin tin on top of a sheet pan and put them in the oven. Let the egg muffins bake for 20-25 minutes or until done. Note: If you are unsure, you can always place a toothpick in the center of a muffin and if there's no residue on the toothpick, they are done!
- When the muffins are done, remove the muffin tin from the oven, and let cool. Enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for later.
