2. Whipped Coffee

• Prep Time:2 mins
• Cook Time:5 mins
• Total Time:7 mins
• Servings:2
• Easy

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee
• 2 tablespoons hot water

• Step 1

  Add sugar, instant coffee, and hot water in a bowl. Mix with an electric hand mixer for 3 minutes until fluffy and light brown. (A hand-whisk will take longer.)

Social distancing is not the most ideal situation for coffee addicts like myself. Starbucks coffee isn't exactly in reach anymore. I decided to try the Tik Tok famous whipped coffee. It is one of the biggest cooking trends of quarantine. It is simple to make, but very strong. I would not advise eating it plain. Get creative and top it on smoothies, iced coffee, almond milk, etc. It'll definitely wake you up in the morning.

3. Low Carb Everything Egg White Wrap

• Prep Time:10 mins
• Cook Time:5 mins
• Total Time:15 mins
• Servings:1
• Easy

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 low carb wrap
• Feta cheese
• Everything Bagel seasoning
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

• Step 1

  Place 3 egg whites in a bowl and whisk until well mixed.

• Step 2

  In a non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and mix around until wilted.

• Step 3

  In a separate non-stick pan, spray pam spray and scramble egg whites. Once the egg whites are almost cooked, add spinach and feta to the pan.

• Step 4

  Warm up the low-carb wrap in toaster for about 1 minute. Place the egg whites with spinach and feta in the low-carb wrap. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning on top and roll the wrap.

Who doesn't love eggs? Egg whites are high in protein, low in everything else. The egg whites, spinach, and feta make protein-and-fiber-filled breakfast. The low carb wrap is optional of course, but it makes the dish more satisfactory. Everything bagel seasoning is my absolute favorite thing to top off my meals with. It provides the flavor of a bagel without the carb load. It is available almost everywhere, but my favorite brand is the Trader Joe's everything but the bagel sesame seasoning.

If you can't tell, I LOVE peanut butter. It has been my quarantine addiction, which is why this smoothie is my absolute favorite. Add some coffee whip on top. Trust me, it's delicious.
