Collard Wraps

Comment + Rate this recipe

Submitted by: Mike Nielsen

List of Ingredients:

Required:

-Collard leaves. 1 big one per wrap.

-Your favorite Hummus.

-3-4 slices of avocado

Optional:

-Cherry tomatoes sliced in threes -Diced bell pepper

-Clover sprouts

-Radish sprouts

-Celery (chopped)

-tiny bit of Spinach or other green of your choice

-Cucumber

-One sliced Pickle

-Diced onion

-a tiny bit of minced fresh garlic

-a sprinkle of lemon (optional)

-Whatever veggies are in season!

Total Cook Time: 5-10 Minutes

Servings: As many as you want

Cooking Instructions:

1. Take your collard leaf and rinse off.

2. Spread a spoonful or two of hummus and lay avocado slices in them. This gives your wrap a nice burrito-like filling.

3. Pile in the filler ingredients the best way you can and roll up the collard leaf to make a quick wrap. You don't need much of each filler ingredient. Just a small amount will fill the wrap quickly. Or you could pick just a few veggies and keep it simple if you want more of a certain filler ingredient.

4. Sprinkle with a little lemon if you want and that "wraps" it up.

"There's no way to do this wrong. And if you don't want extra greens, no worries. Your wrap itself is already made up of dark leafy green. It's a collard leaf. High source of protein. Then eat away."

2 whites, and 1 whole egg pan fried in cast iron (gets a little crispy).

about 1 cup of prepared dal (indian lentils).

the dal has spices and a carmelized onion which actually gives it a nice flavor. to give myself a little more im thinking about adding some turkey bacon or something to the regiment.

im a big boy, this breakfast satisfies me (so i think it should be enough for most people)

2 Hardboiled Eggs

1 Cup Steamed Spinach

2 Slices of Turkey Bacon

Great if your in a hurry in the mornings. I make the eggs and Bacon on Sunday's to have for the week, and put the spinach in some glad ware with a touch of water in the microwave for about a minute.

I'm not such a big vegetable/bean eater, so this diet was tricky for me. Regardless, I still found my happy little place with it. When I have time to cook on the weekend, my favorite slow-carb breakfast is a cross between eggs benedict & eggs florentine, of course without the bread:

2 poached eggs

Sauteed spinach

Slice of tomato

Canadian bacon

Hollandaise sauce (frothed egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice)

On the side, I'll have:

Coffee with cocoa/vanilla/cream

Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Bowl of edamame soy beans

When I'm in a rush though, I always keep hard boiled eggs handy so I never have to cheat. For a quick breakfast I might mix and match any of the following:

Hard boiled eggs

Avocado wrapped with smoked salmon

Unflavored whey protein powder with almond milk, almond butter, cocoa

Whole milk cottage cheese

Edamame

Marcona almonds

A few mouthfuls of raw spinach or broccoli, straight up (why suffer!)

I am still partial to good ol eggs and bacon. I tried the whites with beans and salsa and spinach for a few days and it got boring really fast.

I even added some fresh mushrooms and chives to my omelets and it only kept me happy for a few days.

I decided to cook up a bunch of turkey sausage / bacon and back bacon to have ready for a quick every day meat fix. I usually have 2 -3 eggs lightly scrambled or soft boiled along with 2-4 slices of bacon or 2-3 sausages. I am getting my 30g of protein in a super tasty meal that sustains me for 3-5 hours. I eat relatively low sat fat the rest of the day and don't feel the need to overdo it or cheat.

This is likely not the healthiest bkfast but it accomplishes my goals, I find that the addition of the sat fat extended my full feeling for an additional hour or more vs. just beans and eggs.

My go-to breakfast is:

3 eggs

black beans

frozen spinach

A little canned mackerel to get to 30g protein (or just use a lot of beans but I like to minimize carbs for breakfast).

I heat up coconut oil in a pan, beat the eggs and put them in, put in the rest of the ingredients and put a lid on it to help thaw the spinach. Take lid off after a minute or two and mix it up so it's scrambled.

Most days I'm having:

• teaspoon almond butter on waking
• sauted onions+mushrooms+peppers, black beans, sliced chicken or ham or beef, and two over-easy eggs
• tea

I like to add half an avocado instead of the veggie mix some days, but beans are a daily must.

Scrambled eggs (1 whole, 1 white) with sliced mushrooms, frozen chopped broccoli and black beans. Sometimes I switch out the broccoli for fresh spinach, and just saute it with the mushrooms. A little fresh pico de gallo on top too!

My favourite so far is variants of 2 eggs (I buy organic, so whole), baby spinach & a few lentils. Either as an omelette with lentil/spinach filling, scrambled with the spinach/lentils thrown in at the end, or resting the poached eggs on the lightly heated spinach with lentils & a bit of mustard.

So far working real well!

hi

this is my everyday breakfast :

- protein shake with 30 g of protein

- 1 cup pink beans boiled

- 1 or more cup veggies ( spinach, cauliflower, broccoli etc. ) steamed

- supplements

i drink 500ml or more of very cold water when waking up then 10 minutes later i go for a cold shower ( 3 minutes at least ) and then 10 to 20 minutes later i get breakfast.

good luck for your journey !

Salad Mix, 1 tbsp olive oil and vinegar, 2 soft-boiled eggs, a few slices of red onion.

1 egg, 1 egg white, green/red peppers (pre-chopped), seasoning salts. Scrambled. Add pico di gallo on top. (sometimes I add random strong-flavored meat from the fridge)

Yesterday was a 45g protein shake - "natural" powder, banana, 4 ice cubes + water, a little cocoa powder, a little peanut butter.

baked beans, 1 full egg plus 3 egg whites scrambled, spinach and organic, sulphite free bacon with black coffee = yummo

This is super easy, efficient and hits your main points for breakfast:

Pour egg whites into a non-stick sprayed pan and let it cook while frozen spinach heats in the microwave (2 min) and you open a can of black beans. Add the spinach to one side of the pan and fold the other side over to let it finish cooking (and now it's an omelet). The other side of the pan? Dump in the beans w/ a bit of water, it'll heat on one side of the pan while the omelet finishes

Scoot onto a plate.

Yummy, presentable, and perfect.

I have a work day stand by...

using the coffee maker timer and by preparing over the weekend it saves me a ton of time

20oz water

1/2 cup frozen green beans (pre-measured into a zip lock bag the weekend before, i pre-measure my lunch veggies too! 1 cup)

4 hard boiled egg whites (boiled and peeled over the weekend, eaten in the car)

15 oz of black coffee (sometimes with cinnamon, also in the car)

my breakfast takes me 1 min to microwave the beans in a paper bowl, 1 min to eat

Guzzle the whole glass of water

kiss my wife and daughters good-bye

walk out the door with the eggs and the coffee. (and lunch)

short and sweet

sauted mushrooms, spinich with white beans, added two eggs and two egg whites! My favorite

Mex scramble

2 cups spinach (measured, raw), then cooked slightly (I microwave mine for 30 seconds)

2 eggs beaten with a splash of almond milk

2 pieces turkey bacon

Pinto beans (not that much--1/4 cu)

TJ's Avocado salsa verde

salt/pepper

Mince the bacon and begin frying; add beans & cooked spinach. Pour the eggs in and cook to your liking (I like this "soft"). Top with a tablespoon or so of the salsa. Enjoy!

-2 Whole eggs plus some added Egg Whites - with Adobo seasoning

-1/2 Can of Goya Lentils - a little garlic salt and a tablespoon of salsa on top

2 Cups raw cups of spinach (packed into measuring cup) then microwaved, added olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Very easy to make fast in the morning, with little cleanup. All tastes great to me, and very filling for a breakfast!

I really like making egg white omlettes with spinach tomato onion and a tiny bit of low fat cheese... yummy

i actually follow the 3-minute slow-carb breakfast that tim recommends in the book and it's super easy. i'm getting a little sick of salsa, so i've been taking that out, but usually it's a variation of egg whites and spinach.

I had a great breakfast of egg whites, one whole egg, microwaved spinach and onions mixed into the eggs, and a side of refried beans.

broccoli and zucchini frittata made by panfrying zuccini and finely chopping the broccoli and combining with one whole egg and half a cup of egg white ; salsa on the side - half a tomatoe, 1/4 avo, salt and pepper but had run out of beans or lentils, which is what i would normally toss into the salsa with lemon juice and coriader ;

Since yesterday was my free day, I wanted to go really protein-heavy this morning:

3 eggs, over-easy, using a littel grapeseed oil

two slices turkey bacon

1/2 cup of lentils, mixed with onions, tomatoes, and green peppers, with splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar

normally, I would have two handfuls of sauteed spinach with this, but I was out

1 strawbery protein shake with no carbs and 1 fried egg with kidney beans.

1/2 protein shake (I'm on Occam's)

2 hard-boiled eggs

1/2 cup of cottage cheese

Sauteed spinach

Edamame

This is what I ate for breakfast today:

2 scrambled eggs with pinto beans, asparagus, and turkey bacon topped with green salsa
