[Day 2 of 30] Green Smoothies and Lunges

Kicking off Day 2 of my self-imposed 30 Day Self Improvement Challenge – combining a eating plan (The Whole 30) as well as The Miracle Morning routine. Click the links to learn more and to even get started yourself!

Wasn’t too thrilled about getting up early this morning (could the excitement and newness of this challenge already start to wear off??) but I’m doing this to prove to myself that I CAN follow through on commitments and I CAN succeed at whatever I put my mind to!

Finally towards the end of my Miracle Morning routine I was beginning to actually feel more awake, and once I blended up my new pre-made frozen smoothie

breakfast (see pics), then I was feeling great and was happy to reap the benefits of making myself do something different and felt energized.

Hopefully tomorrow morning I’ll start to feel more awake earlier on…but regardless, I’ve got to do it, knowing the results will come from persistence and commitment.

I made a few quick videos about how to make pre-made awesome green smoothies, as well as a demonstration on how to do proper forward lunges for the exercise portion of my Miracle Morning routine.

Healthy & Easy Recipes

Healthy Egg Scramble in 5 Minutes Flat!

Going strong on a new morning routine to have a healthy and hearty high-protein breakfast to get my metabolism revving and to start the day right. Today is day 30, and I’m loving it. It’s no longer a challenge, it’s a pleasure because my “go-to” of an egg scramble can be literally done differently every day with just a few ingredient swaps. I’ll do a post on how to make A TON of variety with just a few ingredients.

These eggs take five minutes or LESS, and are a 100% guilt free breakfast packed with flavor and filling!

Here’s how to do it in 5 minutes, with only 5 ingredients: Ingredients: 1 full egg, egg whites, spinach, tomato, and garlic.

Add olive or grapeseed oil to the saute pan, and throw in the diced tomato and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute to soften tomato.
Add minced garlic (I like pre-minced in a jar to make it go super fast!) and one LARGE handful of spinach leaves. Wilt and mix for 1 minute.
Add 1 egg plus extra egg whites to your desired amount (I used boxed whites so I don’t throw away extra yolks). Season with a little more salt and pepper.
Scramble in the pan until the eggs are the consistency you like them.

Done! (I topped mine with fresh torn basil leaves)

Is that not the easiest thing ever?!? Start your day right with fueling your body with good quality protein, and skip that old drive thru! It’s just as fast and a million times more tasty and healthy. You got this! What’s your favorite breakfast “go-to”? Share below!
