Breakfast Stir Fry w/ side of Avocado for texture (≈350 cals)

Breakfast Stirfry with Egg, Zucchini, and Spinach, side of Avocado 🙂

Ingredients:

2 large eggs, scrambled

1 med zucchini, diced (approx 200 grams)

1 cup fresh spinach

½ avocado, sliced or mashed (can put on top or have as a creamy side dish for additional healthy fats)

1–2 tsp olive oil or cooking spray

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: garlic, paprika, or chili flakes for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Prep the ingredients, dice the zucchini, slice avocado, and mix the eggs in a bowl and set aside.

2. Oil/Spray large pan, then cook the zucchini on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until just starting to soften (lightly golden). Lightly season to taste.

3. Add spinach, folding the zucchini over top of the spinach, and cook until just starting to wilt.

4. Push the veggies to one side of the pan, then add a little more spray or the second teaspoon of olive oil. Pour the eggs into the empty side of the pan. Let them set for a few seconds, then gently scramble and fold into the veggies.

5. Lower heat and let cook until eggs are done to your liking.

6. Season with additional salt, pepper, and any preferred seasonings. (I use garlic powder or minced garlic, sea salt, pepper, and paprika) Mix everything together.

7. Plate the stir fry and add sliced avocado on the side (or mash it and put it on top with a little lime juice and sea salt for creaminess)

Tips to maximize volume and lower calories:

• Use one whole egg and add additional egg whites to keep some healthy fats but raise protein for longer satiety.

• Use less avocado and mix in extra low calorie veggies such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes 🙂
