Eggs

Since Easter is this weekend and a lot of people will be dyeing eggs….I figured it would be fitting to let you know how wonderfully good they are for you!  Eggs are a higher quality protein source in comparison to milk, beef, whey and soy and have been said to support improved memory and thought!  Here are three benefits of eating eggs!

1. Choline, found in egg yolks, actually helps prevent accumulation of cholesterol & fat in the liver.
2. Eggs contain lutein and zeaxanthin, nutrients that are great for eye health.
3. The high sulfur content of eggs promotes healthy hair and nails.

That’s just a few of the many benefits!  So make sure to put a few eggs aside this weekend just for you!  Here’s a super healthy way to enjoy those delicious deviled eggs without that pesky mayonnaise! 

 

Healthy Deviled Eggs

• 12 hardboiled eggs (save the yolks from 2 eggs)

• 2 hardboiled egg yolks

• 1/4 cup of your favorite hummus

• 1/4 dill relish (not the sweet kind!)

• 1 tbs yellow mustard

• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

• 2 tbs Greek yogurt

• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• salt and pepper to taste

Cut each egg in half and remove the yolks from the hardboiled eggs, and place 2 of them in a small bowl. Mash them up and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into each egg and enjoy!

 

I hope everyone gets out and enjoys this EGGStordinary weekend!!!
