1. Over Night Chia Oats
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup oats
2 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 cup yogurt or kefir of choice
Fruit of choice
DIRECTIONS:
Add all ingredients to a glass container and mix evenly.
Make sure lid is air tight and store in the fridge for 3-12 hours.
Top with fruit of choice and nut butter if desired.
My favorite part about this meal is you can make it any flavor your heart desires! I love using kefir to give me a boost of gut friendly bacteria with billions of probiotics per serving!
2. Egg Cups
INGREDIENTS:
8 pasture raised eggs
2 tbsp+ chopped spinach
2 tbsp chopped red pepper
shredded turkey meat
1/4 cup almond milk
salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prep your veggies and place them at the bottom of a muffin pan.
Then add turkey (or your choice or protein) sausage and bacon work well.
Beat eggs and milk until fully combined and then pour eggs into each cup until 3/4 full. (Eggs will rise)
Top with salt and pepper and cook for 20-22 minutes
Optional: top with cheese and cook for an extra 2 minutes or until melted.
You can use paper muffin cups or grease the pan with coconut oil so they don’t stick, either works. These are completely customizable with veggies and protein so switch it up and pick your faves!
