Turkey Sausage Egg FitFuffin!

Good morning Fit World!

Woke up today to find out that I was one of the winners for the Fit Girl's Guide December #WinterWonderlandChallenge !  Feeling pretty motivated for my second challenge now!  Thought I would share one of my favorite breakfasts from the past month of the #28DayJumpstart by Fit Girl's Guide.  They called it an Egg McFitfun, but for some reason I couldn't remember the name and kept calling it an Egg FitFuffin!  My boyfriend really got a kick out of that (also he loved these healthy little breakfast sandwiches!)

Some of my favorite things about the challenge include the fact that the food is "boyfriend-approved" (as I like to call it).  I would also say it's kid friendly as well, which is great because often through our fit journey's we don't just cook and eat by ourselves!  We usually have significant others, family, and children that have to come along for the ride too.  As a busy grad student, I can only imagine how busy mothers are when trying to eat clean and live a healthy life, so when a program comes along that is great for the whole family, well HOORAY!

Another great part of the Fit Girl's Guide is the fact that the recipes are so easy!  They even outline your grocery list for the whole week and when to prep which items to keep your time in the kitchen to the minimal!  So with that being said, here is my version of their delicious Egg McFitfun (watch out McDonald's!)

Turkey Sausage Egg FitFuffin!

• Thomas' Light Multi-grain English Muffin (Only 100 calories & delicious!) - Simply put it in the toaster

• 1 Fried egg - Just use a little olive oil cooking spray & sprinkle with salt & pepper

• 1 Jones Farm Turkey sausage patty (see picture below!  These are so tasty for only 60 calories!) - I cooked in the pan next to the egg!

• 1/2 slice of provolone cheese (~35 calories) - I have learned to control my burning desire to eat as much cheese as possible at every meal!  One of my hardest habits to break!

• Tomato slice - This can even be heated up slightly in the pan as well!

• Small handful of spinach & raw mushrooms - Toss in the pan after the egg and patty have cooked and use the remaining grease/oil left in the pan to saute these!  Sprinkle with a dash of garlic powder for added flavor!

• Sit back and enjoy!

As you can see, my dog Tobi thought the Egg FitFuffin smelled delicious!  Here are the wonderful turkey sausage products I stumbled upon in the freezer aisle of my local grocery store!  Not only are they low calorie, but also have no MSG, no nitrites, and no preservatives!  I even introduced my family to them while staying there for Christmas; they were even a hit with my picky little brother (we never told them they were made of turkey, ha!)  To the right is the picture of breakfast with my family.  Instead of having an English muffin, I opted for a tasty hash brown (for 140 calories, we get ours frozen from Target!)  Kept the meal and my family healthy, while sharing with them a new breakfast option!

This is another variation of the Egg FitFuffin that I love!

This one used only spinach, tomato, and feta cheese along with the fried egg!  

Hope you enjoyed all the Egg FitFuffins!  I have seen recipes of pinterest where you can actually make a bunch ahead of time, wrap in foil, and freeze them!  This way you can simply grab one and warm it up for a quick, hearty breakfast to-go!
