Easy Egg/Kale/Cheese Scramble (gluten-free, grain-free)

So it’s back to school and that means back to school food…

But that’s not so bad! If you’re in college and want to have a decent breakfast, I have a really easy recipe for you below! It was my pre-workout breakfast and it gave me a good amount of energy to push through even though I’m a little sick right now.

Better yet, it’s gluten free and grain free. Recently, I’ve been toying around with abstaining from grains, as they’ve been upsetting my stomach and just not digesting properly. I did it for a week and felt great, then went back to eating gluten free bread, rice, quinoa (a seed, I’m aware, but it still affected my body), and felt awful. So I cut it out again and felt better, then I ate corn and again, didn’t feel well. So I guess it’s best to listen to my body and refrain from the grain!

So here’s the recipe for an easy, dorm-friendly, gut-friendly breakfast!

1 whole egg
1 egg white
A handful of fresh kale
A low-fat cheese stick
Ground pepper to taste
Sriracha because sriracha, that’s why.

You literally just put it all into a microwaveable bowl, pop it in the micro for a minute, stir, pop it in again for a minute again and you’re all set!
I topped it off with some sriracha, and had a banana and coffee on the side. I tried flax milk to avoid soy for various reasons, but I’m not a fan. Almond milk, too, even. Soy milk and coffee is my favorite!
