Breakfast on the run!


Finding myself racing to the gym for training, hurriedly showering and then busting out in the Nug mobile to go see my massage therapist meant I was stuck for time with my post workout snack this morning. Nevertheless I had prepared a little beauty of a snack late last night to accommodate for such situations. This little gem is so quick and easy to make even I could do it without fudging it and with its simple ingredient list there’s was nothing I didn’t already have in the cupboard either.

Ideal for breakfast on the run, or also a super powered protein snack post workout, these egg and ham cups are ideal for an anytime snack and they stay good for a few days after preparing so you can cook them in advance like I did.

Try them and enjoy, I promise you wont be disappointed!

I rate these oooooooooo     10 chia seeds out of 10

Dean rates them ooooooo   7 chia seeds out of 10 (he suggests the lower rating is only because they would be better with bacon, I argue it’s too hard to make into a cup with bacon)
