Poached eggs has become one of my favorite “go to” breakfast dishes. They are easy and have just the right amount of protein and fat to replenish my body after a hard run and keep me feeling full and satisfied! Breakfast is such an important meal and can make a big difference in how you feel throughout the day. You certainly don’t want to eat something that is going to leave you famished and craving sweets and caffeine an hour later.

I am always trying different vegetables with my eggs and the combo above with carrots, onions, tomatoes and spinach has become one of my favorites. I love the sweetness of the carrots contrasted with the tanginess of the tomatoes. It’s so easy too! You can save time by cutting up your vegetable the night before and then throw them into a skillet to cook while you finish your post run stretches or check your email.
