Mama Mondays – #Eggs Protein Power for Mamas

Breakfast, lunch or dinner…

Eggs are another great protein source for everyone, especially for we mamas. So eggs are the focus of this week’s installment of Protein Power, following up on Greek yogurt, and Quinoa.

For all of 70 calories, you get 6 grams of the highest quality protein, and 10% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin D. This protein helps muscle repair and weight management, and Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption, among other health benefits. And for mamas with little ones on the way, eggs are an excellent source of choline, which aids in fetal brain development and helps prevent birth defects. And you get all of this amazing nutrition in one of the most affordable packages!! Who says eating healthy has to be expensive?! (Source: Incredible Edible Egg)
