It can be tough to get in lots of veggies in the morning, and this recipe makes it easy.

Zucchini noodles are loaded with vitamins and fiber. Combine them with fresh, organic eggs (protein!) and avocados (healthy fat!), and you’ve got a power breakfast that will keep you satiated and energized.

Pro tip: Feel free to mix it up with other spiralized veggies, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets.

  • 1 zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 organic egg

DIRECTIONS
