Nutritional Choice of the Month - December 2011:
“Omelets for Increased Protein and Veggie Consumption”
No less than 5 days/week I eat a veggie-packed omelet- typically at breakfast. Omelets are not only a great source of protein (when portioned correctly), but they are one of the BEST way to increase veggie intake. The omelet I made this morning, for example, had baby spinach, Shitake mushrooms, diced red peppers, and red onion. While salads and stir-fries are 2 fantastic ways to increase veggie intake, breakfast is where I have worked to personally increase my veggie intake. Omelets have helped me do just that. Pair the omelet with some fresh fruit and a healthy starch like Ezekial toast and you’re off to a fantastic start!
