A Saginaw chiropractor and wellness expert loves eggs and feels you should, too. Check with your doctor if you want to change your diet. But Dr. Dan Kehres says adding eggs to your daily meals is a low-cost way to add protein. Dr. Kehres says it's true, breakfast IS the most important meal of the day.

Dr. Kehres says a recent study found that people who ate two eggs for breakfast reduced their waist circumference by 83% more than people who didn't have protein for breakfast (Pennington Biomedical Research Center).He prefers cage free eggs if you can find them at the grocery stores.

Here's his recipe for mini egg muffins.
Mini Egg Muffin recipe
Makes 24 mini-muffins  
  • 6 eggs (eat the egg yolk too!) 
  • 1 green pepper (or any type of bell pepper)
  • 1/2 cup of mushrooms 
  • 1/2 tablespoon of basil
  • A dash of sea salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, coat the muffin tin with coconut oil.

Chop the veggies and lightly sauté for a few minutes. 

Mix the eggs together. 

Put a scoop of veggies in each, then pour eggs on top to fill each slot.

Bake for 12 minutes or until the egg muffins set. 

The Mini Egg Muffins can be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed throughout the week!

This recipe is dairy-free and gluten-free.
