Super Food Egg Muffins

This recipe is delicious and crazy healthy!  It has the super food kale along with a few other veggies and protein, plus you can make it as flavorful as you like!  The egg muffins make a great breakfast or snack and can easily be taken on the go.

Ingredients:

2 c broth (veggie or whatever you like)

1 c quinoa (I like mixed quinoa but any kind works)

5 oz kale (stalks removed)

1 c diced carrot and onion (you can add celery if you wish!)

1 ¾ c cooked spinach

6 large eggs

2 tbsp light olive oil

½ tbsp salt

Whatever spices you want (I went with cumin and chipotle powder)

Directions:  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare the quinoa with the broth according to directions.  Bring a large pot of water (with a bit of salt) to a boil, then blanch the kale by boiling for a few minutes then putting the kale in an ice bath.  Strain and thoroughly dry the kale leaves.

Put the kale, carrot and onion, and spinach in a food processor until finely chopped.

Whisk the eggs, light olive oil, salt, and spices in a bowl.  Mix in the kale mixture and the quinoa. 

Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray, then put about 1/3 c of the mixture in each spot.  (You should get about 15 egg muffins.)  Bake for 35-40 minutes until fully cooked.  Allow to cool and then enjoy!
