Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray or add a small amount of olive oil.
2. Add the diced red peppers to the skillet and sauté until become tender.
3. Pour the egg whites into the skillet over the peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Gently stir as the eggs cook, ensuring a fluffy texture. Cook until the egg whites are fully set.

Step 2: Make the Honey Oatmeal

1. In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk (or water). Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes or until the oats reach your desired consistency.

Make It Your Way

• Add veggies you love: Feel free to mix in or swap out for other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes in the scrambled eggs for added nutrition and leave out things you don’t.
• Protein Boost: Add some Greek yogurt on top of the oatmeal for an extra protein kick.
• Vegan Option: Replace eggs and egg whites with a tofu scramble to keep it plant-based. I love doing this with a pinch of turmeric (gives the color, and is anti-inflammatory) and Black Salt (which tastes a bit sulfur like and makes it feel more like eggs, but is still its own thing.
