Recently I got into using ginger and turmeric to cook with.
1 or 2 eggs
Almond milk
Ground ginger
Ground turmeric
Asparagus
Cilantro
Parsley
Though the way I cook it would probably not be Transform approved lol I’m gonna try my recipe this way… but hey, try the eggs with ginger & turmeric … like oh my gosh
Can’t wait to try this quick and easy breakfast (or low carb meal 😉 )! With the macros provided, is the cheese reg, low fat or fat free? Thanks!
Hi Sunshine: The cheese is regular cheese. Heidi will always put reduced, low, or fat free in her recipes if that’s the type of cheese she’s using, so hopefully that helps! Enjoy!
Thanks for the quick response! One more question…from what I remember in Choose to Lose, breakfast is the one meal that is high carb every day regardless of what day you are on with carb cycling. But this meal has no carbs. Can it be used for a carb cycling breakfast or do I need to add carbs? Or is this just a good Free Day breakfast?
Hi Sunshine: You’d need to add some carbs to make it a carb cycling breakfast. It can also be a Free Day breakfast as it is. 🙂
Thanks, again!!
