Boiled eggs aren’t only for deviled eggs. However, if that’s your jam…then don’t let me derail you! After all, all delicious foods can and should be included in our lives.
Boiled eggs, though, are one of my daily breakfast staples. They can be made ahead of time and travel well when needed. They allow me to get in 12g of protein prior to a workout.
The mystery of cooking the perfect egg is largely taken care of thanks to a new invention…the egg steamer! Now that’s one invention many of us didn’t have when we were kids. Sure, there aren’t many inventions that are more revolutionary as sliced bread, but for me, the egg steamer is one!
Just imagine how easy it would be to whip together this breakfast at 6am after a lifting session. It’s literally a set and forget situation.
Now, what to pair eggs with is often the part that many people get stuck on. Below are some suggestions that might help you!
On a high carb ratio to build muscle mass?
- whole wheat toast
- quinoa or brown rice
- steamed potatoes
On a high fat ratio for hormone balance?
- avocado
- any kind of oiled based sauce – pictured is my salsa verde
- butter on your toast
Need another reason to put vegetables on your plate?
- mini sweet peppers – literally no prep needed here
- sliced mini tomatoes
- carrot sticks – pre-cut for the week
- steamed beets
- micro greens
Breakfast can be hectic, especially when you’re also helping others get ready for the day. Whether or not you’re running to a morning meeting or taking your kids to their early morning activities…YOUR nutrition should be top of mind.
In conclusion, keeping this recipe in your back pocket will ensure that you stay on track, no matter what life wants to throw at you.
