Notes

Use frozen mixed veggies to save prep time. Avoid overcooking eggs to keep them soft and fluffy. Whole grain bread or wraps provide steady energy. Prep ingredients ahead when possible. Spice up meals with chili flakes, garlic powder, or lemon juice. Dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions are easy to make.
