Scotch Eggs (Or Amazing Bundles of Protein)
Ok - on to the recipe. Yesterday I hardboiled some eggs to have on hand ( I usually keep a half dozen in the fridge to grab and go). I also had some sausage on hand from Little Brown Cow Dairy in Monroe County. If you are using prepared sausage instead of buying ground pork and adding the spices, make sure it is free of MSG. In that case, you only need 2 ingredients - sausage and eggs. I used a little less than a pound of sausage and 6 peeled, hard boiled eggs.

Green Smoothie (my version)
Every meal that we consume should have protein, healthy fat, and plenty of vegetables so I decided to come up with my own version of the green smooothie that would satisfy these requirements. Remember - this is to MY taste. Yours might be different but I certainly won't hold it against you! Adjust to your liking but avoid the high sugar fruits like bananas, mangoes, melons or pineapple.
Lisa's Green Smoothie
- 1/3 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- big handful of spinach
- tablespoon almond butter
- ice and water to desired thickness/consistency
There you go! This smoothie will give you approximately 25g protein, 24g healthy fat, 12g carbohyrates plus fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Give it a try!
