The 39-year-old said his simple morning dish takes only 20 minutes to make – here’s everything you need to know
Joe Wicks has shared a delicious breakfast recipe with fans —and it’s surprisingly quick and easy to make. The 39-year-old body coach said his dish tastes good either hot or cold and could even be popped in a lunchbox.
“Quick, easy, simple and healthy,” he wrote in a recent Instagram post. “But don’t do what I did and overegg it. They will rise & they will get ya. These tomato, spinach and mozzarella breakfast muffins taste amazing.
“I baked them for 20 mins at 180°C. They taste so good hot or cold in a lunch box too.” For anyone keen to give Joe’s dish a try, he recommended grabbing the following ingredients:
- Six eggs
- A handful of fresh chopped spinach
- Some sliced baby tomatoes
- Some fresh basil
- Mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle of salt and pepper
To start his recipe, Joe first whisked six eggs in a bowl before adding a handful of chopped spinach, sliced baby tomatoes, and fresh basil. He then mixed in some delicious Italian mozzarella, with a touch of salt and pepper for flavouring.
In a video tutorial, he added: “Lightly grease some muffin tins with some oil or a bit of butter, fill them up [and] put them in the oven.” Joe baked his egg muffins for around 20 minutes at 180°C.
Though they may not have looked as beautiful as he hoped, he stressed that the taste was ‘amazing’. “There you go, that is delicious, simple, homemade tomato, spinach and mozzarella breakfast muffins,” he said.
“They taste very hot – obviously out of the oven – but they are also really yummy wrapped up in a lunch box, eaten later on in the day. So, yeah, win. Enjoy.”
Besides their delicious taste, Joe’s breakfast muffins include several healthy ingredients, too. Spinach is an especially renowned nutrient powerhouse, lauded for its potential blood sugar perks.
Helen Bell, a nutritional expert at Help & Advice, previously told the Express: “Spinach is indeed known for its potential benefits in managing high blood pressure.
“It is rich in nitrates, which can help dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. I have often recommended incorporating spinach into diets for individuals looking to manage their blood pressure naturally.
“Aside from this, spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium. Its antioxidant properties make it beneficial for overall health and well-being.”
Meanwhile, eggs also boast a hefty amount of protein and may even benefit anyone on a weight loss diet. In a separate conversation, Helen added: “In my experience, consuming eggs as a snack can actually be quite beneficial for weight loss. Eggs are high in protein, which helps to increase satiety and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
“This can reduce the overall calorie intake throughout the day. But, it’s important to watch portion sizes and prepare them in a healthy way, like boiling or poaching, to avoid adding unnecessary fats.”
