A Protein Packed Breakfast Recipe
This recipe was offered by a patient who has been successfully losing weight. It also satisfies my plate-building and meal planning strategy for optimizing metabolism by putting protein onto the breakfast plan. You would want to add more anti-oxidant food to your plate such as sliced tomato, fresh of frozen berries or a small apple or orange.
