Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. It is the perfect time to start your day the right way with a nutritious meal. When it comes to breakfast, I focus on a few nutrients. I usually make sure that my meal has a whole grain, is protein rich and has fiber like this Spinach and Bell Pepper Egg Bake.

Spinach and Bell Pepper Egg Bake Nutrition
Over the weekend, I made this spinach and bell pepper egg bake for breakfast. It is high in protein with the addition of eggs, milk and cheese. This meal is filling yet quite a nutritious choice for you. It can be difficult to get your vegetables in in the morning and egg dishes are the perfect opportunity to do so.
Spinach and bell peppers are loaded with vitamins and fiber making them great options for this egg bake. If you prefer other vegetables in it, that's fine too! Use whatever you enjoy and have on hand. This Spinach and Bell Pepper Egg Bake is so delicious and easy too.
When I eat a breakfast that is not high in protein such as cereal, I feel hungry shortly after. Getting 25-30 grams of protein for breakfast (or at least before noon) can help you to feel more full through the morning. To help get more protein, you can pair your meal with an 8-ounce glass of milk for 8 grams of protein.

I eat oatmeal mixed with cooked quinoa and teff that I make earlier in the week. I also add a bit of Greek Yogurt, sliced banana, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds and a drizzle of honey. It's enough to fuel me for a long run and hold off hunger until lunch!
