Southwest Breakfast Quesadilla

Added sugar in moderation can be part of a healthy eating pattern, but there may be some days where we overdo it. Symptoms like fatigue and mental fog are normal after eating too much added sugar, and these recipes provide nutrients that can help get you back on track first thing in the morning. With no more than 3 grams of added sugar per serving, these veggie-packed breakfasts are perfect choices to help you feel good and energized for the day. They also feature anti-inflammatory ingredients like eggs, whole grains and dark leafy greens so you can combat inflammation's pesky symptoms like digestive distress and high blood pressure. Recipes like our Easy Loaded Baked Omelet Muffins and Southwest Breakfast Quesadilla are nutritious and tasty options for your morning meal.

Easy Broccoli-Cheddar Quiche

7115478.jpg
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This broccoli and Cheddar quiche gets its creamy texture from evaporated milk. It's a great recipe to make ahead: simply reheat before serving or cut into slices and reheat each morning for breakfast. Using precut microwaveable broccoli cuts down on prep time, but if you have broccoli crowns sitting around, go ahead and use those up. Just be sure to cook the broccoli only untilbarely tender or the final dish will have overcooked, soggy broccoli.
