Healthy Southwest Breakfast Scramble Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep: I like to make frozen bags of the veggies and cilantro. I add a 1/2 cup plastic measuring cup to a freezer bag, with the veggies and freezer for later. Then I use the measuring cup, one scoop per person.
Storage: You can store the bags mentions for 2 months in the freezer. Leftover scramble will hold in the fridge for 1-2 days.
