Omelette you in on something: healthiest ever mug omelette
A lack of protein is a big concern for many vegetarians. If you’re searching for ways to include more protein in your veggie diet, the eggs in our microwave omelette are your best friend. Eggs are super protein rich and have been shown to help people eat fewer calories during other meals, because they are so naturally nutritious and filling! Eggs have got a bit of a bad rap in the past from misunderstandings about their effect on cholesterol. Eating eggs actually helps regulate your cholesterol as they raise the levels of ‘good’ cholesterol in your liver. Our microwave mug omelette is a great place to start, and we have plenty more information and recipe ideas in our veggie protein power e-cookbook! For more egg breakfast recipes, try our breakfast beans and eggs, or these huevos rancheros. Or try another one of our many high protein egg recipes!
Happy hens: which eggs are best?
Eggs are a cheap and nutritious food, but not all eggs are made equal. The type of egg you use for this healthy breakfast omelette really matters. Buying a carton of free-range eggs means the hens that laid them have been allowed to roam freely whilst eating a natural and nutrient rich diet. In turn, this means your egg can contain between three to six times more vitamin D than a battery farm egg. It’s helpful to be aware of the various classifications of egg quality, particularly the subtle difference between free-range and cage-free eggs. So, to make our truly cracking microwave mug omelette even better, pick the best quality eggs you can access!
