Morning Skillet (Low-GI)

Submitted by InnerHarmonyNutriti

"Sautéed diced potatoes or hash brown potatoes are usually used as a base for a morning skillet, but I created a low-GI version for people who need to control their blood sugar levels. This recipe is versatile. You can use any vegetables you like or you have in your refrigerator and add some protein. I used edamame for protein, but you can also use tofu or animal protein if you eat it. I used a mild cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese mix, but you can use other types of cheese as well.
