Eating healthy in the New Year does not have to mean sacrificing flavor. This Spiralized Veggie Breakfast Casserole is packed with 20 grams of Protein, Low calorie, Gluten Free and Dairy Free!
Now those are some words I never thought I would hear myself say! I do not personally have any gluten or dairy allergies but I know plenty of people that do. Plus while starting a two week detox from all of the deliciousness consumed during the holidays my research led me to remove almost 95% dairy and refined carbs from my diet during this time to reduce inflammation. Which is super hard for me because I LOVE Pasta, Greek yogurt and Cheese!
This Spiralized Veggie Breakfast Casserole really is delicious and it is packed full of spiralized veggie goodness! Zucchini, Sweet Potato and spinach provide healthy vitamins and minerals while the egg whites provide an excellent amount of protein.
Not only is this a super healthy breakfast but it is super simple to make.
Step 1:
Use your handy dandy spiralizer to spiralizer those veggies. In a separate bowl combine Egg Whites with spices.
Step 2:
Brown up some ground Italian chicken sausage.
Step 3:
