Time Saver - Boiled Eggs

Isn't it difficult to stick to healthy eating when you're tired, busy and stressed? 

Boiled eggs are convenient little packages of goodness - keep some in the fridge....

Breakfast

Soft boiled eggs and dippy soldiers are a favourite with my kids and a very healthy low GI way to start the day for everyone.  Serve with grilled tomatoes and seedy or wholemeal toast and you're off to a good start. 

Instant Protein for lunch
Whenever you make soft boiled eggs add 2 or 3 extra eggs to the pan.
Leave the extras to hard boil whilst you eat. After cooking for 10 mins cool immediately in cold water.  Keep them, shell on in the fridge for 1-2 days - instant protein for lunch.

Lunch ideas

Slice on a salad of leafy greens, peppers, cucumber, sunflower/pumpkin/flax seeds.

Mash with mayonnaise for wholemeal sandwich filling or baked potato topper.

Why is it Good Mood Food?

Eggs are packed with low-cost high-quality protein. Addition of protein will lower the GI of a meal. Eggs contain lots of nutrients essential to good health, particularly vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium and choline.
