Vegetable Scramble Tacos
Start your day with this delicious protein packed breakfast! Eggs are a great healthy way to get your protein in the morning. They are full of vitamins such as B6, B12, zinc, and inhibiting hunger hormone leptin. Protein helps to activate your metabolism and stabilize your blood sugar, which is exactly what you want first thing in the morning!
Starting your day with protein also helps you to stay fuller longer. Protein is needed for healthy muscles, skin, blood and nails- it is the structure of our cells. Enjoy this tasty breakfast knowing that it’s helping your body get started for your day!
