You set the tempo, the rhythm, and the intensity, because you personally set your goals. You want an effective detox. You want a smaller size. You want to live a healthier more vibrant life. You are now demanding better health for yourself! Today we cook a delicious breakfast to kick-start this month of May…we are preparing the “Breakfast Egg Roll-up”.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

• Cooked chicken breast, cut into pieces
• 3/4 cup organic, cremini mushrooms, cut into pieces
• 4 Tbsp. non-fat cottage cheese
• 1 small can organic, diced, fire-roasted chilies
• 8 egg whites OR 6 whole eggs
• 1/2 tsp. organic Italian seasoning
• Organic spray olive or avocado oil
• Large ceramic pan

You will be preparing two roll-ups and will use half of the ingredients per roll-up.

In bowl, thoroughly mix 4 egg whites OR 3 whole eggs, ½ mushrooms, ½ chilies and ½ seasoning.

Bring skillet to low-medium heat which has been sprayed with oil to prevent sticking.

Pour egg mixture into skillet which will be a thin layer in bottom; once heated through and mixture becomes just solidified, slide onto a plate.

Spread cooked egg mixture with cottage cheese, sprinkle with chicken pieces and roll it up; place in preheated 250 degree oven and REPEAT for second roll-up.

Put second roll-up in oven while cleaning skillet and bowl.

Sprinkle with some sliced green onions and add a couple tomato wedges to complete.
