My Power Breakfast!


This is one of my favorite ways to start the day! 1/2 Cup of egg substitute (like Egg Beaters), 1 Tablespoon of nutritional yeast and 1 Tablespoon salsa. I add nutritional yeast to eggs, popcorn and every salad I eat at home.  Nutritional yeast adds very few calories (about 27 calories per heaping tablespoon), but is high in protein, fiber, amino acids and B complex vitamins. Use it in place of  Parmesan cheese...it adds a slightly nutty, cheese flavor. I also mix nutritional yeast with salsa and dip celery in it as my afternoon snack. Let me know what you think! It can be purchased at any health food store (including Whole Foods).
