4 steps
Prep:15minCook:30min
This healthy green eggs and ham gets its green from spinach instead of artificial food colorings, and the ham from a lean ham steak instead of a fatty cut. The addition of eggs and chickpeas makes this a very high protein breakfast, with 55 g of protein in under 550 calories. Moreover, the beans and spinach provide fiber, folate, and iron, while the eggs add healthy fats, vitamin B12, and vitamin D

Instructions
Step 1

Heat a large pan over medium, and trim any fat off your ham, and cut into small cubes. When hot, add in your ham, and cook (uncovered) until the water cooks off and the ham begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Set the ham aside

Step 2
Deglaze with some lemon juice, and add in the spinach. Cover and cook until the water has cooked off, and the spinach begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Add in the spices






Step 3
Crack in your eggs, and beat with a wooden spoon. Lower the heat to medium low, and cook under frequent stirring until the eggs are just barely cooked, about 5 minutes

Step 4

Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. Add in the chickpeas, as well as the ham. Combine together, and divide into 4 servings
