2B Mindset Vegetarian Eggs Benedict

Serves 2

This vegetarian eggs Benedict with sautéed asparagus and mushrooms and a much healthier version of hollandaise sauce is a delicious way to get your brunch on.

If asparagus and mushrooms aren’t your cup of tea, variations are suggested at the end of this recipe.

• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 4 oz. sliced mushrooms
• 4 oz. asparagus tips (1-inch pieces; about 1 cup)
• 2 cups water
• 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice (or white vinegar)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 whole-grain English muffins, split, toasted
• ¼ cup Healthy Hollandaise Sauce
• 1 tsp. finely chopped parsley (for garnish; optional)

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes or until mushrooms release liquid.
3. Add asparagus; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Remove from heat. Set aside.
4. Place water in medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add lemon juice; reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil.
5. Break two eggs into a small bowl. Hold bowl close to the water’s surface and slip the eggs, one by one, into the water. Cook until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken, about 5 minutes. Gently lift eggs out of water; keep warm. Repeat, cooking two eggs at a time.
6. Place English muffins on a serving plate. Evenly top each muffin half with mushroom mixture, an egg, and Hollandaise Sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired; serve immediately.

• Spinach – Substitute 3 cups raw spinach for mushrooms or asparagus
• Tomato – Substitute 6 slices of tomato for mushrooms or asparagus

How the Power of Association Can Help You Tackle Your Hardest Workouts

What Is the Power of Association?
Top athletic and fitness performers use this technique during high-intensity training to manage pain and fatigue and power through. Association makes it possible to sustain motivation, confidence, focus, and emotional control so that you can get through even the most intense exercise. In essence, your mind allows your body to perform the way you want it to.

Here’s what to do: At any point in your training, when you begin to feel pain and fatigue, tune in on the work by focusing on bodily sensations (such as muscle tension and breathing) or a specific exercise technique or tactic. If you focus on more than one thing, you’re already off point and will have difficulty. By choosing just one technique, tactic, or bodily sensation, you block out everything else and become completely immersed in the only thing that matters — completing the task.

How to Use the Power of Association When You Work Out:

1. Count your breaths or pay attention to your breathing technique (e.g. in through your nose, out through your mouth) as you perform the exercise.
2. Let’s say you’re performing high knee jumps. Focus directly on a specific mark on your body where you want your knees to reach.
3. When your Beachbody trainer gives you direction on technique, choose one key word and use it to focus your energy on getting it done properly.
4. If you’re holding a pose, such as plank, find a specific spot on the floor to zone in on.
5. Count your reps (or the seconds) left of the exercise. I prefer to count aloud as it strengthens my focus on the work.
6. Sometimes the best way to deal with pain is to focus right on it and tell your body to stay strong!
