Breakfast Groove
I’ve been a big fan of this single serve protein cup for my breakfast. They are versatile, yummy, nutritious and simple to make. There’s no one set rule on how you want to have this to be. The best thing is, it uses most of my left overs.
The one below had tuna, zucchini and 1 egg on top, sprinkled with my homemade mushroom seasonings.
Here’s the recipe from the one I made before. Originally I used 2 eggs for each serving but in the end I changed my mind and decided to use just 1 egg. The nutrition breakdown below is for 1 serving with 1 egg.
