    Great idea! I added it!
  • It is not just for breakfast; it's great for lunch or dinner as well. You can think to enjoy vegetables with eggs, but it is a wonderful combination and a way to include more vegetables in your Healthiest Way of Eating. Frozen vegetables are a good choice when fresh is not available and it is also very convenient when you don't have much time. Enjoy!
