Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the Vegetables

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell peppers, onions, and spinach until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Nutritional Information

This High Protein Egg Meal Prep offers a well-rounded nutritional profile ideal for anyone looking to maintain a healthy diet. Each serving provides a substantial amount of protein, along with healthy fats from the eggs and milk. Additionally, the vegetables add essential vitamins and minerals, making this a balanced meal choice.

For those tracking macronutrients, you can easily adjust the recipe to fit your specific needs. By reducing the amount of cheese or adding lean meats, you can tweak the calorie count and protein content to align with your diet plan.

Storage Tips

To ensure the longevity of your meal prep, use airtight containers for storage. This will help maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. If you plan to freeze portions, make sure to label each container with the date to keep track of freshness. While the egg mixture can be refrigerated for up to five days, it can last even longer in the freezer.

When reheating, make sure to heat the meal thoroughly to ensure even warming. You may want to add a splash of water or milk to the container before microwaving to keep the eggs moist and prevent them from drying out.

Serving Suggestions

This High Protein Egg Meal Prep is perfect on its own, but pairing it with sides can elevate your meal even further. Serve it alongside whole-grain toast for a hearty breakfast or with a fresh salad for lunch. You can also enjoy it with avocado slices for added creaminess and healthy fats.

For a more substantial dinner, consider serving the egg mixture over a bed of quinoa or brown rice. This adds complex carbohydrates to your meal, providing additional energy and making it an even more satisfying option.
