Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/3 cup craisins
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and chopped into bite sized pieces any variety
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients into slow-cooker and mix in together well. Place on high for 2.5 hours (You’ll start to smell apple pie in your house). 
  • Scoop out into bowls and enjoy! Be careful, it’ll be very hot. 

Notes

If you want the most out of your apple, leave the skin on. The skin is where all the nutrients hide out, so if you keep the skin on, you’ll get all the benefits from the apple as well! You could also switch this up as a dessert. Just top with low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt while the oatmeal’s still hot and it’ll turn into an amazing after-dinner treat.

Servings 2 muffins
Calories 114 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey sausage
  • 2 medium peppers (red, green or yellow)
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped (red or white)
  • 4 handfuls spinach, ripped into pieces
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 32oz container liquid egg whites
  • Non-stick spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350⁰ and spray muffin tins with non-stick spray.
  • Heat skillet to medium high heat and brown turkey sausage until cooked through, breaking up into small crumbles.
  • Combine turkey sausage, peppers, onion, spinach, and spices in a mixing bowl.
  • With a spoon, scoop turkey sausage mixture evenly into 24 muffin tins. *I only had one 12-cup muffin tin so I used half the mixture first, baked the eggs and then used the rest of the mixture.
  • Pour egg whites on top of mixture, into muffin tins just below the rim of the pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until eggs no longer move when you wiggle the pan.
  • Once they’re done, place on a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

Make these ahead of time so you have them for the week. They make a great grab-and-go breakfast that’s still hot! You can also find pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles to save time too.
