Most nutritionists and health experts will tell you that eggs are amazing for your health – and that’s because they are. Eggs are a highly cost-effective source of protein, as a single egg has about six grams of protein. Not to mention that they are also rich in vitamin D, iron, carotenoids and disease-fighting nutrients.
Plus, there is nothing harmful in eggs. Some people might be concerned that eggs have about 5 grams of fat each, but when compared to the amount of beneficial nutrients in the food, this small amount of fat is worth the risk.
So the only question is, how can we get more eggs into our diets? We all know that eggs should not be eaten raw, and the problem that so many of us have is finding time to cook in our busy days. But we just discovered an amazing hack for how you can cook many eggs ahead of time so you can have a healthy snack or breakfast on the go.
The trick is to make egg muffins. This simple food is just made by mixing together raw eggs with any vegetable or seasoning of your choosing, then pouring the mixture into muffin tins and then baking. The result is a grain-free “muffin” that is high in nutritional value, thanks to both the eggs and the veggies.
There are a ton of recipes for egg muffins out there, so you can find an option that fits your tastes best. You can also mix it up and try a new recipe every time. A great place to start is with this simple egg muffin recipe from Delish, with a ton of different veggies and some turkey bacon. You can cook an entire batch or two of egg muffins at the start of the week and then heat one up in the microwave whenever you want a healthy snack.
