Power Breakfast

An egg sandwich is a perfect post-workout breakfast. There’s protein in both the yolk and the white of an egg, and this recipe uses a combination of the two to boost protein while keeping calories and fat under control. Eggs also contain zinc, which aids in metabolism and immunity, and vitamin B12, which supports cell production. Cheese and fresh veggies round out this meal to restore tired muscles and recharge your energy stores.

2 tablespoons fat-free milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 large egg whites

3 large eggs

Dash of hot pepper sauce

Cooking spray

1 cup finely diced red bell pepper

3/4 cup prechopped onion

4 sourdough English muffins, split

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella cheese

1 1/2 cups bagged baby spinach leaves
