The milk life Lo Que Nos Hace Fuertes campaign launched the Somos Fuertes program to gather Hispanics across the country to start and finish their day with milk, and its 8 grams of high quality protein and 9 essential nutrients.
In a New Year celebration, the Milk Life Somos Fuertes campaign would like to encourage families to add milk to their diet, to enhance a recipe, combine it with other breakfast items or just as a snack.
The Milk Life Somos Fuertes campaign recently launched U.S. Olympic Medalist, Cuban-American Gymnast, Danell Leyva as their new strength ambassador with the goal of educating others on the importance of fueling your day with a nutrient-rich breakfast. A simple way of adding protein to your breakfast is by pairing your breakfast favorites, with a glass of milk.
Check this great video of Somos Fuertes ambassador, Danell Leyva and his father/trainer, Yin Alvarez out:
Did you know that Milk has 9 essential nutrients, including 8 grams of high-quality protein in every 8oz. glass? And it is one of the most affordable sources of high-quality protein you can find! I just love that!
It took me a while to understand that getting enough protein at breakfast can help me stay fuller longer, so I’m more likely to stick to a healthy eating routine.
That’s why I am so excited to join this great movement and share some of my favorite Latin breakfast recipes that power my morning:
Smoothies:
You know I love smoothies, so I basically pair any fruits we have in the house with ice and one glass of low fat milk
Fritatas:
I pair veggies, eggs with low fat cheese, salt and pepper and make the most delicious fritatas paired with cold glass of milk.
Today I wanted to share a recipe from the Fuertes Con Leche website, which I translated and slightly modified making it in a skillet instead of microwave and I did not add the bread which was on the original recipe, so I added it to the nutrition facts, in case you would like to add to yours as well.
Ingredients
1 egg
1 TBSP of low fat milk
2 TBSP of Breakfast Sausage, cooked and cut in pieces or 1 sausage breakfast patty
2 TBSPs of shredded Cheddar Cheese
Serve with:
1 8oz Glass of Low Fat Milk
(Optional: 1 piece of toasted flatbread)
Preparation
Beat one egg and 1 TBSP of milk in a bowl until mixed, pour and cook it in a pre-heated skillet, add sausage, cheese and fold it with a spatula in an omelet style! Spread cheddar cheese on top and leave some on the side for that extra rico factor. Serve it with an 8oz glass of milk for that perfect, nutritious breakfast! Full of labor!

Smoothies are the best! So healthy and easy to make
What a yummy and filling breakfast! I am going to have to try it this weekend!!
I will definitely try this recipe…
Its becoming such a struggle seeing all these awesome recipes. Another one that I can make for my son B and since it’s summer time, I will indulge since I get to spend more time with him.
The best of both worlds. All of the food groups covered. That looks like it will be an awesome breakfast!
oh this looks nd sounds amazing I must give it a try myself I think
I do not like eggs on their own but this would be perfect for me since it is combined with Sausage.
I’m going to the store tonight so I need to make this for Saturday morning breakfast. YUM!
What a great program they’re implementing! This recipe looks delicious! We do smoothies to get extra greens in our diet.
Wow. Yummy, healthy and adds nutritional value. A very good breakfast plan. Covers all four food groups and keeps you at your best the whole day. Awesome idea!
Yum! Gotta go grab breakfast! LOL. I love smoothies too and I love frittata as well.
Wow, this absolutely looks delicious and a perfect breakfast for us
Oh yummy! This looks perfect for breakfast or brunch. My boys would definitely love this combo!
Breakfast food is a favorite in our house and this is definitely something the family will love. I bet it’s going to be a hit, thanks for the recipe!
Great way to start the day! 🙂
My kids love when I make this for their school lunch. Tomatoes and scallions are great addition too.
I love eggs and I lovemaking frittatas and tortillas! I don’t eat meat but I know this is a great combination!
That looks really good! I would love to have that for breakfast tomorrow morning.
I’m a huge fan of breakfast food and so are the kids. This is quite the recipe! I’m sure the kids will love this! Thanks for sharing!
This is amazing for meat eaters I will share it with my friend!
This looks so good!!! 🙂 thanks!
looks delicious, not a combination I would ever have thought of mixing together but it makes sense. Thanks for the idea
This looks so delicious and easy to make. It would be great for busy mornings.
Love fritatas! It’s so delicious and perfect for a breakfast! Thanks for sharing such appetizing recipe! Yummy!
Such a simple yet delicious breakfast! And honestly, it sounds good enough for a mid morning snack as well! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
We love breakfast burritos here. It is a standard breakfast item.
These tortillas look very good. What a great idea for breakfast.
I am an egg girl…I love hard boiled eggs and pretty much try to eat one each day. This breakfast is not just delicious but nutritious
This looks delicious!
We enjoy eggs any time of the day.
I would omit the sausage too only because we don’t eat them and add cheese and veggies instead .
I’m always looking for good breakfast recipes. I skip breakfast too much.
Oh my goodness! This looks yummy 🙂
That does look delicious, although I think I’d probably omit the sausage (I’m not much of a sausage fan). Do you think it would turn out if I used mushrooms instead?
This looks delicious. I need to start making eggs for breakfast. I don’t at the moment bc it requires making a big mess in order to eat.
Thanks for the idea. It is difficult to come up with healthy and delicious recipes for breakfast. It is a rule in our home to never leave the house without eating breakfast. Now my children will be in for a treat tomorrow morning!
That looks so good! My family would love this for breakfast. I can’t wait to try it.
That looks SO good! Milk is my favorite drink! I love it with just about any meal. I will be trying out this omelette.
Thanks for sharing this, Claudia! I think this would be a great treat for everyone this weekend.
I love eggs especially with cheese. Your breakfast looks delicious and I bet it a a really filling meal.
I love anything on a tortilla and this looks really good!! YUM!!
Breakfast food is my favorite and this looks delicious!
What a delicious looking tortilla. I’ll have to try your recipe because this is something my family would love.
This looks so delicious! I can’t wait to try it
This sounds like what I had for breakfast, except it was on an english muffin and replace the sausage with bacon
I love starting the day off with a protein packed breakfast like this. And sausage and eggs are the perfect combo. Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I love eggs for my breakfast as they are such a great source of protein. heck I even eat them throughout the day
That is my kind of breakfast! A nice hearty meal to start the day!
This sounds like an awesome breakfast or even a great light dinner…thanks.
OMG yum! I would eat these all the time! Like every day!
This sounds so good! I need to start getting up earlier to make myself protein packed breakfasts!
I like to add a bit of milk to my eggs, too. It kicks up the calcium a hair and helps make them fluffy.
I always add milk, too. That’s how my mom taught me to make them 🙂
This is the kind of breakfast I like to have! It sounds flavorful and filling and like it would leave me ready to face the day!
That sounds incredibly tasty. I think I’ll make this as a super special treat this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Mm that looks good! Maybe I will make it for my son and my Brazilian daughter-in-law when they come visit.
