Give Scrambled Eggs A Flavor (And Fiber) Boost With One Tasty Fresh Addition

A plate of scrambled eggs is already one of the most nutritious things you can eat to start your day. On average just one large egg contains 6 grams of protein, which is the equivalent of about 12% of the daily recommended intake for an average woman, as well as a slew of other vitamins and minerals that are important to help the body function. However, the one thing eggs are lacking in is fiber, which is essential for healthy digestion and stabilizing blood sugar. But there is one tasty ingredient that you can add to your scrambled eggs to solve this: avocado.

Another beloved superfood, avocados are rich in fiber and a range of other nutrients like folate, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin E. A whole avocado contains around 10 grams of fiber to be exact, which is a sizeable dent in what most adults require per day (between 25 and 38 grams). To top it all off, avocados are delicious and they can give many dishes, like eggs, a creamier texture and fresher flavor.

They work particularly well with a soft and fluffy scrambled eggs recipe, bulking up the meal and providing a nice pop of color. The buttery flavors and textures play well off each other and the combo comes together in minutes, which is something that can't be said for a lot of other nutritious meals.

You can simply slice some avocado and use it to top your scrambled eggs after they have been plated, but stirring them into the pan will create a melt-in-your-mouth finish. Just chop up the avocado while the eggs are in the pan and stir in right as the yolks start to set. Mashing the avocado and smothering it on toast is also an option, but make sure to season with some salt and pepper before topping with the eggs.

Another delicious way to serve these is in a high-protein breakfast burrito or on a bagel. Top with hot sauce for a little kick, everything bagel seasoning for some salty crunch, or a simple squeeze of zesty lime. To amp up the protein levels even more, serve with turkey bacon or sausage. For an extra fiber boost, opt for wholegrain or seeded bread. 

This hearty winter vegetable egg scramble is also filled with healthy ingredients, and frozen spinach is another great fiber-packed addition for eggs. The only real challenge you might come up against is keeping an avocado on hand that's perfectly ripe, but we have all the tips you need for picking the best avocados.
