I’m sure you have seen me post Eggvocado several times on instagram. It’s definitely a go-to around here! It’s easy, can be prepped ahead by having hard boiled eggs on hand and it’s filled with lots of healthy fats, protein and flavor!
I started out making this “mixture” a few years back when my husband was in a crossfit competition. We had planned to stay at a nearby hotel because he had to be at the venue by 7am and the comp site was a couple of hours away. That being said, I wondered how I was going to get some fuel into his system that early without a kitchen! So I prepped some hardboiled eggs ahead of time, grabbed a couple of ripe avocados and some tomatoes.
To our surprise, the hotel had a kitchen-ette! So I ran to the nearest store and grabbed some spinach and bacon. And that’s pretty much how this little breakfast came to fruition. I cooked up the bacon, used the grease to soften the spinach and while that was going on, I decided to mash up the egg and avocado together making it a guacamole with added protein! I didn’t have salt and pepper on hand so I just added some of the bacon grease to the eggvocado mash to give it a little something. Hubby kept going on and on about how good it was so it quickly became breakfast! 
I recently started baking my bacon and love the way they turn out. They don’t curl up and get grease all over my stove top! (…..I pretty much hate splattered grease :-/) Of course I always save the drippings from bacon but one morning I decided to plop the kale right on top of the baking sheet of bacon grease and stick it back in the oven. Yay….another easy-peasy way to get breakfast done without a lot of dishes and mess!
This is definitely a great way to start your day — keeps you fueled and sustained until your next meal. So go get some hard boiled eggs stocked in your fridge and give this a try this week 🙂
