Egg Bake

Our Egg Bake recipe can be made ahead of time and warmed up for a high-protein breakfast with a high nutrient load. You’ve probably heard the secret that if you eat breakfast daily it can boost your metabolism 10-15%. If you are not a breakfast eater it can be difficult to add this habit to your life. We recommend starting with a light breakfast of fruit first thing. Take a serving of the egg bake with you to work and eat it mid-morning when you start to feel hungry. Over time your metabolism will shift and you will find the need for something substantial like the Egg Bake within 30 minutes of rising each day. One more secret … eating within 30 minutes of rising is the best approach for a healthy heart. Your body fasts overnight while you are sleeping. When you wake up and make your body start moving it’s very important to give it some fuel! Thank you to The Wellness Adventures for this delicious recipe.
