Veggified Breakfast Wrap

1 Flatout flatbread wrap
1 egg
1 slice of reduced fat cheese (I used provolone)
1 bell pepper diced (you could substitute or add other vegetables)
1 Tablespoon salsa
olive oil cooking spray
minced garlic
pepper

Coat frying pan with olive oil cooking spray and heat diced bell peppers until they begin to soften.  Add minced garlic if desired.  Move peppers to one side of the pan and add egg to the frying pan.  Shake a little bit of pepper on egg if desired.  Flip egg and place slice of cheese on top so that it melts while the egg finishes cooking.   Spread salsa on flatbread wrap, remove bell peppers from frying pan and spread on flatbread wrap.  Use the spatula to divide egg/cheese into 2 pieces and place both on flatbread wrap.  Roll-up carefully and enjoy.

1/2 cup iced coffee
1 banana
1/2 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
1/2 scoop protein powder (I used Pure Protein brand chocolate whey protein)
3 macadamia nuts
sprinkle of cinnamon
4 big ice cubes (If you use a frozen banana, you can omit the iced cubes)

The best way I have found to freeze bananas is to use ripe bananas, peel them and break into 2 or 3 pieces, place them in an individual ziploc baggie, then place the baggies inside a freezer bag.
