Eggs. To eat them, or not. That’s the question 

I used to eat a lot of hard boiled eggs, and there was a time when I scrambled five (yes five) egg whites every single morning with tomatoes and spinach. I have never been a fan of egg yolks, unless, that is, they were hard boiled and I was starving (literally, remember that whole obsessive running, eating disorder past of mine). Regardless, I stopped eating eggs a few years ago, entirely. Truth be known, I’m just not a big fan and therefore they’re not going to be the “flex” part of my flexitarian diet. BUT. I have to admit that when I tried these for the first time I instantly wanted more. Like a crack addict begs for more. OK. Maybe not exactly the same, but you get my point.

Some vegans are rethinking eggs and adding them back into their diet, hence the coined label surfacing the “food and diet” world, VEGGAN. Get it? I hope so.

Anyway, whether you choose to follow a 100 percent vegan diet or follow a plant based diet like myself and allow a little “flex” every now and then, these are a pretty damn good thing to flex your mouth muscles around (ohhh, that sounded bad). I made three versions: savory, veggie and Mexican. And all completely vegan with the exception of the egg white itself. And the best part, they freeze well so when you’re in a rush to get out the door in the morning (if you actually have somewhere to go like a real office space and not a remote one like your couch) you can quickly grab one or two, heat them in the microwave and be on your merry little way.
