kiss it goodbye

i'm always trying to come up with breakfasts and snacks that are quick and easy to eat on the go. mornings are usually hectic and making a wholesome, healthy breakfast is the last thing you want to spend time on when you're trying to get out the door. another requirement i have are breakfasts that incorporate healthy protein to keep me full and complex carbs to give me energy. yesterday i made scrambled egg muffins that are easy for the mornings or to pack in a cooler for a snack later in the day.
