Why We Love Salmon and Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast
We always start off our day with eggs because eggs are a powerhouse of nutrients. You can read more about healthy eggs here Eggs are The Perfect Food. Eggs combined with cooked salmon is not only nutritious, its super-delicious! Salmon has lots of heart-healthy omega-3s, is low in saturated fat and cholesterol and is an awesome source of protein. It is much healthier than any other breakfast protein such a pork sausage or bacon.
