Eat Empowered with Protein
|
 During the month of April and the Easter season, eggs are finally getting the representation they deserve! There are plenty of ways to prepare your hard-boiled, color-coated high protein foods after the Easter bunny has come and gone! Eggs are egg-ceptional because they are high in protein and they also have been found to improve memory and decrease inflammation in your body. Try a deviled eggs recipe this week using low-fat mayo or hummus, Dijon mustard, and topped with paprika or dill pickle. For an added kick, try mixing in horseradish! |
