I like these on HCG maintenance because you can just use whatever ingredients you have. If you don’t have bacon, crumbled breakfast sausage or diced ham would work. If you don’t have spinach, you can use chopped up cooked broccoli or asparagus. It would also be great with bell peppers, onion, or tomato, too.
