Last Updated on December 7, 2018 by Shane Corbitt

There are two kinds of people in this world: breakfast people and non-breakfast people.

Sure, you can get into a routine where there’s just too much to do in the morning. And before you leave the house, there’s no time for anything but a cup o’ joe in a travel mug. Suddenly, you’ve become a non-breakfast person.

Well, Gundry believes everyone should be able to eat a healthy breakfast before starting your day. So, he’s come up with the easiest healthy solution: “Green” Egg-Sausage Breakfast Muffins.

Not only is this recipe easy, tasty, and healthy… it’s portable, too! So, you’ll just have to try it.

WHAT MAKES THIS MUFFIN SO HEALTHY?

1. SPINACH

Greens are amazing, and spinach is king among them. Part of the reason that’s true is the phytochemicals and bioactives in spinach can scavenge free radicals and help prevent oxidative damage. Those same phytochemicals can also help:

• Regulate metabolism
• Support cell growth
• Temper inflammation
• Curb food cravings and help support satiety hormone production¹

Furthermore, spinach is low in fat and even lower in cholesterol. Spinach has also got a super nutrient profile that includes:

In other words, it’s bursting with great things for every part of your body.

2. KALE

Another low-calorie green, Kale is high in fiber and has absolutely no fat. And kale can do a lot when it comes to aiding digestion and comfortably eliminating waste. Kale’s also chock full of nutrients and vitamins.

Like spinach, kale is super rich in:

And, of course, greens like kale have very few carbohydrates and low sodium and cholesterol contents.

The final nutritional star of this recipe is perilla oil. (You can opt to use extra-virgin olive oil, too). But just in case you’re going to go for the perilla oil, here’s some good information about it.

3. PERILLA OIL

Now, the oil comes from the seeds of the Perilla frutescens (also called shiso, or the beefsteak plant). The seeds are a great source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). But the leaves of the plant don’t contain a lot of oil, and only the seed oil has the omega-3 fatty acids your body’s looking for. And the polyunsaturated fatty acids from that oil are truly beneficial to human health, especially when it comes to helping heart health concerns and inflammatory issues.³

One final note before you set to cooking… Make sure your Turkey Italian Sausage or Turkey Chorizo is made from pastured turkey. You can find these types of turkey products at various fine food markets.

SO, GRAB A MUFFIN IN THE MORNING!

Do it and you’ll become a breakfast person without any hassle. Spend your day satisfied and energized and savoring these tasty morning muffins.

If you end up making a bigger batch, you can keep your leftovers in a covered glass casserole dish in the fridge.. or wrap them in wax paper and toss them into your freezer.

They’re super easy to reheat in the microwave (on high for 1 minute or until warm/hot to the touch). Or, if you simply carry one to work, it’ll defrost on its own by lunchtime. Enjoy!
