Easy Spinach Quiches

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I’d like to share a recipe that makes an awesome snack or light breakfast.

Easy Spinach Quiches

3 eggs
1/2 bag chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed!
3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
salt, pepper, and garlic to taste

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2.  Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Portion into muffin cups.
3.  Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are set.
4.  Enjoy a couple with your favorite fruit 🙂

*Make It Your Own*
Feel free to swap out any veggies or cheese you like.  Try mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini, basil, peppers, and feta cheese!

Welp, Bob and I are off to try the lottery for Book of Mormon!  This will be our 4th time…hoping the 4th time will be the charm.  Fingers crossed!

How to Make a Balanced Smoothie

Smoothies can either be a nutritious treat or a total sugar bomb!  Here’s how to make a smoothie that has a perfect balance of healthy carbs, protein and fat.

1.  Start with fruit.  I love to use frozen berries, pineapple or mango chunks.  Frozen works best because it makes your smoothie cold and frothy, and there’s no need to add ice, which can water it down.

2.  Add a banana.  1/2 or whole is fine, but I definitely wouldn’t skip this step.  Bananas make every smoothie better!

3.  Sneak in some protein.  My favorite protein sources are Greek yogurt or protein powder.  Use plain greek yogurt, since you already have enough sugar from the fruit.  Tone It Up makes an awesome organic, vegan protein powder.  I also like Isopure 🙂

4.  Liquify!!!  Time to get it all going together.  My favorite liquids to use are unsweetened vanilla almond milk (again, there’s enough sugar from the fruit!) or coconut water.

5.  Fat check.  If you used fat-free greek yogurt, I would add in some fat.  My picks are all-natural almond butter, ground flaxseed, or chia seeds.

6.  Mix it all up and voila!  You have a delicious, nutritionally balanced smoothie.  Enjoy!
