So, as much as I hate to even type this… some people do not want to eat eggs for breakfast. GASP haha if you’ve ever seen one of my Facebook coffee chats, I have eggs every day. I love eggs. But I suppose you want options.

This means that kicking your day off with a protein-packed recipe is crucial (learn more about how to increase your protein intake and not hate food).
