How To Prepare Your Protein:

• Eggs -  the possibilities are endless. Make 'em fried, scrambled or get fancy with frittatas (todays newsletter) and omelets
• Stir Fry -  all you need is a pan, coconut oil or butter, protein, veggies, spices and a stirring utensil. Make it into fajitas by adding salsa, avocados and black beans.
• Wrap it up - or -  lay it down -   Grab some protein, grab some veggies, grab a little sauce (hummus, Red Hot, salsa, guacamole, etc).  Wrap it up with collard greens or lettuce or throw it on a bed of spinach.
• Skewer & Grill -  Spice met with salt, pepper, fresh herbs, citrus or low sugar sauces or spice mixes. Grill them whole or on a skewer with your veggies.
