Breakfast with Kay Simms
Taking time for breakfast is very important but busy morning schedules can make cooking breakfast difficult. This week’s recipe, Ham and Chive Egg Muffins, are a great on-the-go meal that will fill you up and energize you for the day! The recipe calls for nutritional yeast seasoning, which is an inactive yeast made from sugercane and beet molasses. Despite its source, it has a savory taste that has a slightly nutty, cheesy flavor and is often used as a condiment or in vegan cheese sauces and other sauces for thickening. Nutritional yeast seasoning is loaded with B vitamins, high in protein, and fiber to provide incredible vegan nutrition to any dish! Pick up some nutritional yeast this week at specialty grocery stores and most major grocery stores and experience fun new flavors to boost your meal!
Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day. Not only does this first meal break the fast that your body has been in overnight, it is your first opportunity to influence how the rest of your eating for the day will go. If you choose to eat a sugar-fueled breakfast then chances are high that you’ll continue to make poor food choices for the rest of the day.
These Ham and Chive Egg Muffins are the perfect blend of protein, fiber and flavor to start your day off right. Make a big batch on the weekend to provide days of on-the-go breakfasts for your busy workweek. Enjoy!
