🥚 Don’t underestimate the power of eggs.

Eggs are a staple in my diet. I have them for breakfast almost every day. Simple, satisfying, and incredibly nutrient-dense.

Harvard research supports that moderate egg consumption can be part of a healthy diet, with around one egg a day not associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in healthy people.

Complete protein, all 9 essential amino acids, choline, B12, selenium, vitamin A, lutein & zeaxanthin — so much nutrition in one simple whole food.

That’s why eggs will always have a place on my breakfast plate. 💛🥚

Save this for your next breakfast & follow for more whole-food nutrition.
