Why this is so good:

At 200 calories this makes an excellent snack or light breakfast. Why? it is BALANCED! We have to have balance in order to feel satisfied. Just having a handful of pretzels as a snack or eggs and bacon for breakfast without the other food groups does not complete your meal and won’t complete YOU! Consider this next time you need to be held from lunch to dinner or if you find yourself going out for an early lunch. Never skip a meal, just make it more skimpy 🙂
