Protein is a PIVOTAL way to support your metabolism and your hormones. We should aim to get about 30 grams/ meal or 1 gram per pound of body weight.

This casserole is packed with nourishing protein that will keep you full and give you a big punch of important vitamins. In addition to the eggs, I have added cottage cheese. It packs in more protein and gives a creamy texture to the casserole.

It’s also super easy to make. I like to make this at the beginning of the week, then cut serving and wrap them in parchment paper to keep ready to go for the week. You can grab these quickly and add a side of fruit and you should be good to go for hours.

Nutrional high points:

Eggs - eggs are an excellent source of all your big vitamins like; A, D, E and K- these are the backbone of your immune system and hormones.

they also contain choline - a key mineral in pregnancy. Iodine and selenium, which are super important to the thyroid, and is very liver protective.

Cottage Cheese - cottage cheese is a nutritious high protein addition and if you choose a quality brand, it becomes a great source of vitamin D as well phosphorus, selenium and calcium.
