Eggs, Anyways

Two Easy Egg Recipes You Should Try This Week.

Eggs are a staple in my diet. I cannot resist a quick and healthy meal that takes 15 minutes or less to prepare. And if you know me, you know how I feel about my eggs. Some may even consider me an eggspert… see what I did there? Anyway, aside from being packed with protein and good fat, eggs contain all 9 amino acids (and pretty much go with everything). The average egg contains 77 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 6 grams of protein. Yum. They’re also full of choline, an essential nutrient that helps your liver, metabolism, and brain. When I purchase eggs, I prefer organic and pasture raised, as they are better for you AND the hens. But of course, feel free to purchase any type of eggs you like! Below you’ll find three of my go to morning scrambles that you can make in 15 minutes or less.
