Do you LOVE eggs? Can you eat them any time of the day? Do you ever ask yourself, “What the heck do I want to eat after my workout that won’t ruin my workout?” Well problem solved! I created this protein packed scramble that not only has a tasty kick in your mouth but also will help kick start your body to be leaner! It has been shown that people who eat eggs in the morning are more likely to eat less throughout the day. Now I know this recipe calls for tofu but don’t be scared my friends! Tofu is just as good as eggs and has mega protein in it that will keep you FULL!

MAKES 2 SERVINGS
What you will need:
¼ organic red bell pepper
¼  organic red tomato
¼ cup organic red onion chopped
1 or 2 handfuls of organic baby spinach
2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa
¼ avocado
½ cup of organic firm tofu
Soy sauce
3 egg whites

1. Preheat oven at 350
2. drain the tofu and then cut the tofu block into little cubes. Spray pan with a nonstick spray. Then gently place tofu on pan so they are all laid out evenly. Then drizzle some Soy Sauce so they are evenly coated. ( I suggest a low sodium one.)

Then put in oven once oven is ready. Set timer to 25 minutes. After first 25 min. flip tofu and place back in oven for another 25 minutes so they are golden color.
3. Warm a medium size skillet on stove top with some olive or coconut oil on medium. Cut the bell pepper, tomato, onion and grab a couple handfuls of spinach.

4. Once skillet is warm place all the veggies in the pan with 1 tablespoon of salsa and a dash of pepper. Let them cook for a couple of minutes until they soften. 
5. Add tofu once veggies have soften. Let tofu cook a little more in pan for another 3 minutes then push everything to one side.
6. Add egg whites to the empty side of the pan. Once the egg whites have set scramble everything together.

7. Place on plate and top with fresh avocado and another tablespoon of salsa and ENJOY! Added bonus you have leftover tofu that you can use to make different types of scrambles and add in your salads as well!
