Kale Scramble and Tomato Avocado Salad

This is one of my post workout meals. I always try and have at least 20 grams of protein and 40 grams of carbs to make sure I am properly rebuilding my muscles. Throw in some healthy fats and vitamins and you have a killer lunch. To make this meal more complete, I could have thrown in a small baked yam on the side or a couple brown rice cakes. Instead I had a banana for dessert.

    • 1/4 tsp coconut oil (or other oil)

  • Directions:
    • In small pan sauté onion in coconut oil for about 3-5 minutes
    • Add in kale and continue sautéing, for another 3-5 minutes
    • In a small bowl, scramble the eggs and egg whites. Add in the kale mixture and blend well
    • Pour into the small pan, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper (optional) and scramble the eggs until they are cooked
    • Serve on a plate and enjoy with the tomato avocado salad
