High Protein Cupcakes

People think I'm insane for working out early in the morning, but truth is, it's the only reasonable time for me to workout. With two daughters and a husband that works many hours in day, the morning workouts are the only time I can get out of my house without screwing up anyones schedule. At first waking up early was very difficult and thats partly because I wouldn't go to bed at a decent hour and felt that "catching up" on my recorded shows was important. However, once I got into routine and forced myself to go to bed early the morning workouts got easier.

I usually get home around 7:30am from my workout. The girls are usually awake and my husband is heading out the door for work so having a high protein meal can be difficult to make especially when your burnt out on shakes. Besides if you can find a great healthy breakfast that the kids can eat too then it's a win for all, right? This is my favorite and so EASY to make healthy high protein breakfast...

What you need:
Turkey slices
Egg whites (approximately around 8-12 eggs if not just using liquid container)
Spinach
Broccoli
Onions
Pepper
Sea salt

Preheat your oven at 350 before your start prepping

First: you need to sauté the onions, broccoli and spinach in a medium skillet.

Second: You line cupcake tins with the turkey slices  (12 count)

Third: you spoon in the sauté veggies inside the cupped turkey

Fourth: then you poor the egg white mix over the cooked veggies (whisk in a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper before)

Last: you put the 12 cupcake tin into your preheated oven and let cook for about 20-30 min or until the eggs looks nice and puffy. (A friend of mine said it took her 30-40 min, depending on the oven it could be slightly different so just keep checking on them:) )

Enjoy.

My girls love this breakfast. It's easy and we have left overs for the next morning and it even makes a great snack.
