By Jamie Lazan at SUNY New Paltz

As we reach mid-summer, we crave those yummy breakfast treats that we all know will definitely add on some unnecessary weight to that beach bod we have worked day & night for! We see summer as a flashing red light to start working out, while trying so desperately to avoid mouth-watering ice cream, carnival treats, & popsicles! We look for all those how-to articles to make recipes that are healthy while adding in some personal flavor!

What if I told you there was a healthy, and absolutely mouth-watering, breakfast meal that only take 20 minutes to prepare? A meal that leaves you craving for more and questioning how something that tasty could be so healthy and leave you feeling so wonderful! In order to make this nutritious meal, you will need to get some spinach: a healthy source of vitamins, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.

Better get your pans and spatulas out to taste this filling meal for yourself!
