According to some researchers, eating foods rich in protein for breakfast, like eggs, can improve overall cognitive functioning.

Not only are eggs high in protein, but they are also low in calories. Their versatility makes them a great foundation for numerous healthy snacks and meals. This week, experiment with these great recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or simply an afternoon snack!

Soft-Boiled Eggs

Sliced hard-boiled eggs are great on salads or in sandwiches, but a soft-boiled egg in the morning is a treat! Make sure to boil them for only a few minutes if you want a yolk that’s still runny.

Breakfast Burrito

Stuffed with scrambled eggs, lean turkey sausage, and diced tomatoes, a whole-wheat breakfast burrito is actually a healthy, filling lunch option. Add some low-cal guacamole for an extra flavor boost.
