More Info From Our School Nutritionist
The egg gets a bum wrap! It is the best source of protein on the planet; eggs consistently outrank milk, beef, whey, and soy in the quality of protein they provide. In addition to containing all nine essential amino acids, eggs are loaded with nutrients. Eat the yoke; people avoid the yolk because they fear cholesterol, but egg yolks contain choline, which helps protect heart and brain function and prevents cholesterol and fat from accumulating in the liver. So the saying the eatable incredible egg is true.
Did you know? You can put all your ingredients you would like for an omelet in a bowl and whip it to mix. Put it in a ziplock sandwich bag and put in a pan of boiling water. It takes about 15 min to set the eggs. It will roll out of the bag in a perfect rolled omelet. Top with salsa and enjoy without the extra fat from frying.
Another tip from Shirley-
CABBAGE
In the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive, then broccoli and bok choy. They contain a compound called indoles, which has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically. Cabbage eaten more than once a week can cut colon cancer by 66%. Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier. If you eat the red variety you’ll also get a healthy dose of antioxidants. Sauerkraut is good for you and only has 23 cal. Per ½ cup.
