7 Mouth-Watering Simple Egg Snacks Recipes

In this post I’m back with 7 brand new simple egg recipes! These recipes are husband and kid approved, healthy and packed with protein. One of my passions is developing new recipes with you. So I hope you LOVE these as much as I do. Let’s get right to it. 

We all hear about the benefits of eating protein and how it is the building block of muscles, bones, skin, cartilages… and, pretty much everything else in our bodies. But it’s so expensive right? Wrong! Let me introduce you to my favorite easy (and affordable) protein source: Eggs!

As a coach, one thing I see frequently is that most people struggle to reach the recommended protein intake which is roughly 1.6- 2.2grams per kilo of body weight. 

Eggs are a notorious (and affordable) source of protein, but they can be a bit challenging to get very creative with, other than the good ol’ boiled eggs, omelet and fried eggs. 

So, today I am bringing you not one, but SEVEN mouth-watering and very simple recipes using eggs! These will be great to spice up your menu and meal planning, as well as to increase your protein intake.
