Clean Eating Black Bean Scramble

In my quest to get more protein into my diet, I’m finding lots of different ways to prepare my morning eggs.

I’ve never been a big fan of eggs in general, so I find that they are much easier to eat if I “dress them up” a bit.

I’ve also found that adding more protein to my diet requires more fiber. ~ehem~ So beans are the perfect addition to any egg scramble.

Here’s what I did:

Clean Eating Black Bean Scramble
(Makes 1 serving)

Ingredients
4egg whites
1/2 cup black beans
1/4 red onion – chopped ( I used white and I wish I had used red)
1/3 avocado
2 tbsp. clean salsa
1/2 tsp. olive oil

Directions

Step 1 – Sautee your onions in the oil in a non-stick pan.

Step 2 – add your eggs and scramble/cook.

Step 3 – Once eggs are near cooked, stir in your beans and cook just long enough to heat them up.

Step 4 – Transfer to a plate and top with salsa and avocado.

Eat and Enjoy!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

If they are old enough, let them do a bit of the scrambling. Kids love to mix stuff, so this will be right up their alley. Then, they can top their eggs with the toppings of their choice. (Please remember to give them MILD salsa!)
