Recipe from Lisa Lillian (a.k.a. Hungry Girl) Here If you are looking for really great meals that make low calorie eating easier, then this is for you.
This is becoming one of my favorite things for breakfast, especially if I want to give myself a really good start with protein on a workout day.  Another really big plus is this recipe is just barely over 120 Calories.  You can’t beat that.  Combining this with a Soy or Whey protein shake, and you are on your way to the perfect protein filled morning and ready to hit the weights like a boss!
