Spinach + Citrus Scramble

Who doesn’t love scrambled eggs for breakfast once in a while?!

Eggs are incredibly great for our female bodies (if you can tolerate and digest them properly).

They are rich in protein, great for blood sugar regulation, high in choline- an important nutrient for healthy follicle development, a good source of omega-3s - helpful for reducing inflammation⁠, high in "good" cholesterol - the building block for hormones, high in vitamin D, a source of folate, and high in B-vitamins! 

There really is so much nutritional value packed into one little egg! 

When you pair all of this with the added benefits from dark leafy greens, citrus fruits, and anti-inflammatory herbs/ spices found in this recipe, your body (and hormones) will be thriving!
