Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp chocolate or caramel syrup (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350⁰ and line a small baking sheet with tinfoil.
  • Spread shredded coconut across the baking sheet.
  • If you have a fresh pineapple, cut it up into chunks while the oven is preheating.
  • Once oven is preheated, place coconut into oven, about 3 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Take out once coconut is browned.
  • Assemble parfait with greek yogurt first, pineapple, chocolate or caramel syrup, and topped off with the coconut.
  • Dig in and enjoy!

Notes

Parfaits are a great option for breakfast, as yogurt offers protein and carbs. Adding fruit, granola, or whatever you prefer adds to the delicious taste of it. With its tropical taste and island-style vibe, your day will start on the bright side of things. Add some mandarin oranges, lime, or grapefruit for some more citrus bite.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 1 “sliced thin” pepper jack cheese slice
  • 2 slices canadian bacon
  • 1 “everything” bagel thin or sandwich thin
  • 1 tsp butter
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Pan-fry your egg over medium heat. I have a one-egg pan that I use which works perfectly!
  • While your egg is frying, toast your bagel thin whole, don’t separate into two pieces.
  • On a separate plate, place 2 pieces of canadian bacon and microwave for about 30 seconds to heat.
  • Once the egg is done, place aside but leave in the pan.
  • When bagel/sandwich thin is done toasting, place on a plate.
  • Add your slice of cheese to the bottom of the bagel while lightly buttering the other side.
  • Place egg on top of the cheese slice and then layer with turkey sausage (flat side down).
  • Top off your sandwich with the top part of your bagel and enjoy!

Notes

If you want to make two at a time (which I usually end up doing), just make two separate eggs in one pan and toast your bagels at the same time since you only use one slot for one bagel.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey sausage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 32oz carton “Better’n Eggs” liquid eggs
  • 1 package Tumaro’s Garden Veggie “Low-In-Carb” Wraps
  • 1 bag low-fat shredded cheddar
  • Plastic Wrap

Instructions
 

  • Brown turkey sausage in skillet and drain excess fat. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, on medium-high heat, sautee peppers and onions with olive oil. Throw in all the spices and cook until the onion become translucent.
  • Add liquid eggs (I only used about ¾ of the carton so you should have some left over). Use your best judgement for a vegetable to egg ratio. When eggs start to cook, add in the turkey sausage and cook altogether until eggs are cooked through.
  • Set up your “wrapping station” for the burritos: A space for your pieces of plastic wrap to lie flat, and somewhere to put them once they’re wrapped.
  • Lay out your piece of plastic wrap and burrito shell. Spread cheese on the bottom of the wrap, and then your egg-sausage mixture. Wrap tightly and then roll into plastic wrap securely. Repeat this process with all of wraps and place into plastic bag.
  • Throw in the freezer and enjoy whenever you want!

Notes

I had some turkey-sausage mixture left over so I just threw the leftovers into a container in the fridge and had it for breakfast the next day. For a little spice, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar. They freezer wonderfully and reheat nicely too.
