I have partnered with Dannon to help promote Oikos. I have been compensated for my time commitment to review Oikos. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments. Thank you to Dannon for partnering with me on this post. As always, thank you for supporting CNC!

Hi guys! You are going to absolutely LOVE this quick and easy breakfast. I whipped up this Easy Tortilla Breakfast Quiche a few weeks ago and have been wanting to share it ever since! You’ll wow your family and friends wherever you make it and you’ll feel good about eating it, too! You can absolutely make this ahead of time – just reheat – to simplify your morning routine. And the best part? It’s incredibly high in protein, packed with flavor, and is almost too pretty to eat!

I always love simple recipes, but I’m especially loving them lately. With summer in full swing, busy weekends, and loads of travel, I don’t have time to spend hours prepping and cooking. But with this recipe, you only need seven main ingredients, many of which you likely already have on hand, and only a few simple steps, this breakfast (or lunch or dinner) comes together in no time! And, how fun is the tortilla for the crust? I love the shape it forms when baking – almost like a flower! 🙂

Sausage, Pepper & Ricotta Tortilla Quiche

You’d never guess it, but the star ingredient of this quiche is Dannon Oikos Greek Nonfat Yogurt. That’s right! And it’s a seriously stellar addition as an excellent source of high quality protein per 5.3 oz and a good source of calcium and active yogurt cultures, plus many flavors have vitamin D as well! It also makes a versatile ingredient substitution in a variety of recipes (both savory and sweet), especially since there are so many flavors to choose from!

If you’re lactose intolerant and typically avoid milk and other dairy products, you might not think this recipe is for you. But (!!) Greek yogurt, for many people, is a more digestible alternative to milk because it contains less lactose. Additionally, its live and active cultures may allow lactose intolerant individuals to enjoy dairy products with fewer associated symptoms. If you’re on the fence about whether or not dairy “agrees” with you, it’s worth giving this recipe a try, especially since it’s star ingredient offers tons of protein (1 cup of Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt has 22 grams of protein!). It’s the most satiating nutrient and provides a healthy dose of calcium, which is essential to maintaining muscle and bones.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
