Protein Packed Scramble

Share the love!

As you all know, I have lost sixty some odd pounds.  In the process of losing weight, I have discovered that one of the things that is absolutely essential to curbing cravings throughout the day is a protein packed breakfast.

Short of drinking a protein shake every morning (which some mornings I do, just to save time and energy), I’ve had to come up with some creative ways to protein load my breakfast.  One of my current favorites is a protein packed scramble.   I keep veggies cut up in the fridge, which makes this delicious breakfast a snap to make.

Protein Packed Scramble

This protein packed scramble is the perfect way to start your day. ***Also excellent with a slice of American Cheese or with other vegetable mix-ins. I really enjoy sauteed mushrooms and onions, as well.***

    Oh, thanks for the recipe. I’m trying to lose weight as well and looking for ways to up my protein intake.

    Checking back on this, bought protein powder and I bet I could find a way to put it in this.

  3. I love putting green vegetables in my omelettes.

  4. I try to get enough protein each day, but I really do need to get better at that!

  5. I need to share this with my hubby. He is on a protein rich low carb eating plan.
