So far this summer has been even busier than I anticipated with 2 toddlers full of energy so prepping a few things each week has been very helpful. With some healthy options on hand, I’m much more likely to make choices that support my goals. Another strategy is to prep a few key ingredients like some lean protein sources and veggies to add to different recipes each week!

- 6 eggs

- 6 slices chopped cooked turkey bacon

Divide the egg mixture into all 12 muffin tin cups. Evenly divide and sprinkle the chopped turkey into each muffin and top with cheese. Bake for 15 min or until completely cooked through. Store in an airtight container in the fridge!
