Breakfast Tip #3: Memory Booster Sandwich
This is the third of a series of blog posts on healthy breakfast ideas from Elizabeth Ward, who already shared with us easy solutions to squeeze in breakfast. Elizabeth Ward, M.S., RD is a multi-published nutrition consultant. Her latest book is The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to the New Food Pyramids (Alpha Books, 2006).
Breakfast Idea #3: Fast-food breakfast sandwich. Scramble an egg in 1 teaspoon of margarine. Layer cooked egg with a slice of cheddar or Provolone cheese in a whole grain English muffin. Enjoy with 8 ounces 100% orange juice.
Health Benefits:
- In addition to high-quality protein necessary for building cells and tissues, eggs contain choline, a compound that has been linked to better memory. Eggs are also a source of 12 vitamins and minerals.
- Cheese supplies protein plus calcium, necessary to produce and repair bone tissue.
- Eight ounces of 100% orange juice satisfies nearly 25 percent of the USDA recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

Ohh, that actually sounds really tasty! And knowing it’s good for you is that much better! I might have to try making it sometime.
Recipe is ok, but MARGARINE? a.k.a the liquid plastic? 1 teaspoon or not, that stuff is carcinogenic and contributes to nearly all chronic illness.
