This protein packed breakfast is high in nutrients and will keep you full until lunch time. It is one of the best breakfast options for keeping your vegetable to protein ratios in check and I always make sure I have plenty of vegetables. The more vegetables you have in your diet the better so be generous. It is packed with protein and nutrients and really is a healthy choice.

The need for speed!

For those of you in a hurry in the mornings here’s my top tips for making this fast:
Chop your vegetables up into small even pieces, this makes the cooking time quicker. I grate my zucchini which really speeds things up!
Prepare your vegetables the night before
You can even par cook your vegetables in a glass container in the microwave for a couple of minutes with a dash of water the night before.
Drain off the water and pop back into the fridge overnight.
The next morning put the into a hot pan, heat through for a minute or two and crack in the eggs – easy and so fast!
