Don’t Waste Those Eggs: Turn Them Into This High-Protein, Low Cal Favorite

Before you think about throwing those leftover eggs away, let’s put them to work! This quick upgrade turns them into a high-protein, goal-supporting meal in minutes.

Egg salad gets a bad reputation for being heavy, mayo-loaded, and calorie-dense, but it doesn’t have to be. With a few simple swaps, you can turn it into a quick meal that will keep you from overdoing it on the leftover chocolate bunnies and peanut butter cups.

Give this one a try and thank me later!

Lightened Up Egg Salad

Ingredients: (serves 1)

4 large boiled eggs (discard 3 yolks)

4 tsp fat free Greek yogurt (can sub for light mayo but macros have been calculated with yogurt)

2 Tbsp green onions, chopped

1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Chop, mix and chill (or eat right away)! I love topping this salad on whole grain bread, rice cakes or as a dish on it’s own. Enjoy!
