I’ve been super into eating healthy lately (say what?!) and really evaluating what I’m actually eating and putting in my body daily.

If you know me at all you know I DON’T diet and I loooooove food (Ambs Loves Food duh!). But most of the food I love is usually unhealthy and doesn’t really have a lot of nutrients or vitamins in it.

I’ve still been eating everything I love (because #yolo) but really watching my portion control and swapping unhealthy options for much healthier ones when I can. I’ve been aiming to eat healthy salads with dressings that aren’t ranch :) and also try to get multiple fruits and veggies in me everyday!

I’ve even been on a kick to eat breakfast which I NEVER used to eat unless it was brunch on the weekends or at a cool spot. And I’m feeling really really great and so much healthier and less sluggish since I started this.

With this new life style (like I said I don’t do diets and this is not one, it’s a lifestyle change and one that you don’t do for a couple weeks or months but one that stays consistent into your future!) I’ve been into meal prepping easy breakfasts lately.

I shared these Gluten Free Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Muffins the other day which I’ve stashed in our freezer and take out to thaw every morning I want something fast!

And then I made these Ham, Egg, and Cheese Muffins as a quick breakfast option as well.

I was craving a savory quick breakfast with enough protein to keep me full and enough flavor to keep me interested.

These Ham, Egg, and Cheese Muffins are so simple, fast and bake perfectly in a muffin pan. Hence the name- muffins.

But what I love most is that they freeze wonderfully and are a quick way to start your morning and keep you full until lunch without grabbing something unhealthy to get you through the day.

You can add veggies into these so easily to make them even healthier and filling- add chopped red peppers, grated zucchini, chopped tomatoes, spinach leaves.

Anything is possible!
