“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last,
‘ what’s the first thing you say to yourself?’
‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’
‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
‘It’s the same thing,’ he said.”?
– A. A. Milne, ‘The House at Pooh Corner’

Eating healthy can sometimes get a bad reputation. Some people think healthy implies eating only egg white omelets for breakfast and sacrificing flavor and taste, but that doesn’t need to happen. These egg white bites are a great recipe for a healthy breakfast and an exciting “upgrade” to the traditional breakfast. The versatility of this recipe as well as easy preparation makes it a great breakfast for any day of the week. Use whatever vegetables you happen to have on hand and you can save the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
