Live Life to it’s Fullest Soyrizo

As the great Mario Batali once said,  “You have to live life to its full chorizo.”

I’m not going to waste your time with any small talk this morning. I’m tired and hungry and am trying to give myself a pep talk to go to the gym.

Breakfast, as many of you may already know… improves memory and concentration! Eating a healthy, substantial breakfast also helps improve your metabolism and can help you maintain/lose weight. Since your metabolism slows down when you’re asleep, eating a healthy breakfast not only jump starts your day, but your metabolism!

So where am I going with all of this? I eat an egg every morning. Eggs can get kind of boring though. Especially when I’m trying to keep it light and avoid a bunch of cheesy goodness. One of my FAVORITE breakfast ingredients is chorizo. Sadly, chorizo can be kind of greasy and heavy. So during the week, I usually swap my chorizo out with (drumroll please)… SOYRIZO! To be honest, it tastes amazing. If I made you breakfast and didn’t tell you I was using a soy based “meat”, you would have no idea. I don’t eat it because I don’t eat meat (because I love me some meat), but I love the taste and that it’s a lighter option.

One great thing about this recipe, is that it’s easy to increase quantities. The basic recipe is for one, but the more eggs you add, the more people you can feed. Or, you can make a few ahead of time and freeze them (just pop it into the microwave for a quick breakfast). You can also serve the scramble as is, no tortilla if you’re watching your carbs.

On that note… it’s time for me to eat my burrito and get my day started!
