Okay, Ill admit it: breakfast is a struggle for me.
I usually run out of time in the morning to make myself a real breakfast
(Between getting myself ready for the day… and helping otherpeople in my house get ready for the day… there just isn’t time!)
So I end up just grabbing something as I run out the door which is usually something less than healthy, like an overly processed granola bar or something pretty insufficient, like just an apple
Or I resort to skipping breakfast altogether.
None of those options is ideal when Im trying to lose weight and be healthier!
So, its one of my goals to be better about eating a healthy breakfast.
But I need that healthy breakfast to also be something fast & easy to get ready, since my mornings always seem so rushed.

Why Spinach Is A Rockstar In This Recipe
Of course, you can easily personalize your breakfast sandwich to fit your favorite flavors.
Dont like tomato? Leave it off!
Have a lovely, ripe avocado in your kitchen? Slice it up and add it on!
Lettuce onion bell pepper mushrooms jalapeo… lots of different veggies could work really well on this breakfast sandwich. So dont be afraid to experiment and mix it up!
However, if I may make a suggestion Id say, keep the spinach in this recipe.
(Personally, I like the taste of spinach more than lettuce anyway!)
Thats because spinach is SO good for you. Its absolutely packed with vitamins and minerals that do a lot of good for your body.

In addition, spinach contains several plant compounds that hold incredible benefits as well. Lutein and zeaxanthin, for example, have been linked to improved eye health.
It also contains nitrates, which may promote heart health and kaempferol, which is an antioxidant that may reduce your risk for cancer and chronic diseases.
Spinach is also one of the richest sources of quercetin. This is another antioxidant, and it may reduce your risk for infection and inflammation.
On top of all of that spinach is tasty! It doesnt have a really strong taste, so it works well in a ton of different recipes.

How This Protein-Packed Breakfast Can Help You Easily Melt Off The Pounds
One of the reasons I LOVE breakfast sandwiches is that if I include eggs (which have SO MANY health benefits)… I know Im getting a good serving of protein to start my day.
And Ive noticed that when I start off with a protein-filled breakfast, I stay fuller for longer and I simply have a better morning!
(Is it because I dont get hangry? Maybe and that makes the morning better for everyone around me, too! No one likes to encounter me when I’m hangry…)
But get this: I recently came across some new research that made me even more excited about eating a protein-filled breakfast
You read that rightthey ate more, and lost more weight.
(Sign me up for that kind of weight loss plan!)
And Im not even talking about people who doubled or tripled their protein intake they only had to increase it by 15-30%. (For example, one serving of Greek yogurt has 17 grams of proteinthat might be enough to hit your percentage right there!)
And that small increase led to burning an average of 441 MORE calories every day!
Thats exactly the way I want to start my day. 🙂
