Though March may bring warmer temperatures, we are not out of the winter woods yet, and nothing is more comforting on a cool morning than a nice, hot (and healthy!) eggy breakfast. Spice up the usual scrambled eggs with this new and improved egg + Canadian bacon casserole that won’t thwart your healthy eating regimen.
Healthier than traditional bacon, Canadian bacon has less than 1g of fat and packs 6g of protein per serving (2 slices). We also implemented a few key substitutes to make it more fat loss friendly such as coconut creamer and almond cheese, which can be found at any natural grocery store.
