Grab and Go Omelettes!

Last week, as I was talking to some of my challengers we discussed these Grab and Go Omelettes. We were discussing breakfast options on the go--as she preferred to have her Shakeology for lunch. The only problem was, we couldn't come up with many easy on-the-go breakfast options that weren't full of sugars and refined carbohydrates. Until now…
    Seriously, what a genious idea!  Why didn't I think of it sooner!  I'm always in search of quick easy snacks and meal ideas!  The fact that you can make these ahead of time, pop them in the fridge (or freezer, if longer) and grab and go for the rest of the week just makes perfect sense!  The other bonus is that if you have kids you can easily give these to them on the way to the bus stop or in the car!!  It's a no brainer way to sneak in proper nutrition without anyone having to know!

For added staying power, you can even re-heat and put one right on a toasted Ezekial english muffin, for an on the go breakfast sandwich! My husband loves these on his way to work…and he would probably otherwise go to a food chain drive-through for a breakfast sandwich. So, I'm happy to offer him a HEALTHIER option on the go.

The awesome thing is that you can throw in virtually any veggie or spice you want to get the taste you desire!!
This is a versatile meal that can be eaten on the go or at home. for breakfast, a snack lunch dinner, or before bed!
