In the Kitchen with Keri: Grilled Veggie Breakfast Scramble

We share heaps of healthy information on Nutritious Life’s blog every day, but “In the Kitchen with Keri” is your chance to spend some quality time with the wonder woman behind it all, Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN. It’s where she invites you into her space to share the ingredients she’s currently obsessed with, recipes she can’t get enough of, and other tips and tricks learned over many years of life as an always-ahead-of-the-curve nutritionist and wellness expert. You already know I am breakfast’s biggest fan. There are so many reasons to prioritize eating a healthy morning meal. By having a well-balanced mix of protein, healthy fat, and fiber, you’re setting yourself up for a better day by laying a good foundation of nutrients. Plus, this will help you be less likely to overeat and more likely to make healthier choices throughout the day.  In the summer months we grill a lot and almost always have leftovers. So, the next morning, I like to take the remaining grilled veggies and whip up a fun scramble. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated, that’s why egg-dishes are my go-to. Try this recipe after your next backyard bbq and I promise you won’t be disappointed. 

7 Easy Egg Recipes for Delicious, Protein-Rich Meals

Eggs really are all they’re cracked up to be (cholesterol and all)—and these easy egg recipes are all you need to reap their benefits. First, they’re an excellent source of protein for both meat eaters and vegetarians. (Don’t worry vegans: See here, instead.) Eggs also contain important nutrients that can be difficult to include in your diet. Choline, for example, is a cousin to the B vitamins and is needed to make a neurotransmitter that’s key to learning and memory. Studies also show it can help protect against cognitive decline and dementia and that people who eat more have lower anxiety levels. The bad news: the vast majority of Americans don’t get enough in their diet. The eggcellent news: Egg yolks are the most concentrated source you can find. Eggs are also rich in B12, a nutrient that is important for immunity and energy. A deficiency can lead to feeling tired and weak 24-7 (and you definitely don’t have time for that). Ready to scramble, poach, and hard boil your way to better health?
