Breakfast...

Quick and Easy...

So a little something about me and breakfast...I like having the same thing EVERY morning.  I go through phases.  It's weird. I don't like changing it up.  Healthy BUT just the SAME thing...like everyday!  I don't mind.  Right now I'm stuck on Egg white and Spinach omelets.

I get the Egg Whites in a carton...it's just easier for me.  If you are going to purchase this way...make sure it is 100% Liquid Egg Whites for it to be Clean.

I then spray my pan with Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray.  This one is from Trader Joes.

Next pour in the egg whites, add the spinach and pepper.

My perfect Omelet!!  It is SO yummy and easy to make! 

Another Item that I MUST have in the morning!!  Coffee! 

I add unsweetened Almond milk and Stevia.  Delish. Clean. Super LOW cal.

So if you are having a hard time deciding what to make for your breakfast in the morning...here ya go!!  Get creative with what you add to your Egg White Omelet.  Follow me on twitter and share a pic of your omelet with me.

2 Little Fit Facts...

~One of the major things that helped me with my 25lb weight loss with toneitup.com was staying hydrated.  It is important to drink half your body weight in ounces daily of water :)

~Planning aids in SUCCESS!!  Around noon I asked on Twitter and Facebook what everyone was having for dinner??  Most might have been thinking, I don't even know what I'm having for lunch.  Knowing what you are going to make ahead of time and having the ingredients makes for a successful, lean, clean and green dinner :)
