Do any of you own a Magic Bullet? I absolutely LOVE mine and use it for so many things from grounding up flax seeds, making smoothies or pancake mixes to making omelets. My sister uses hers to make fresh baby food which I think is awesome. If you are in the market to buy one, I have found Costco to be the best package deal as you get not only the bullet, but, the blender and juicer for the same price as what you get it at Target/Walmart without the freebies. Ok - enough with my infomercial and onto today's eats :)
I used my Magic Bullet to whip up a quick Tomato Basil Omelet. Although it isn't pretty for pictures, it only took me about 10 seconds to "chopped" the veggies and a minute to make this quick scramble.
3 egg whites
1/2 c cherry tomatoes
2-3 basil leaves (about 1 Tbsp)
1 Tbsp Parmesan
Sprinkle of sea salt & freshly ground pepper
cooked in 1 tsp of heart healthy olive oil
Last night, I made up a 1/2 a batch of the Biggest Loser Blueberry Bran Mini Muffins. You can get the recipe by clicking HERE. I had 2 of these with breakfast and I have to say they are pretty tasty. You can taste the fresh blueberries and the banana and they are not "branny" at all. I like a mini muffin that is a BIG mini muffin too!
I served this all up with some decaf coffee, 8 oz of FF milk and my fancy new Nathan Bottle!!
