Easter- A day for biblical remembrance, has some how mortified itself into a day where many children hope that a mysterious rabbit will come in the middle of the night and hide bright pastel eggs for them. Maybe it's the nice weather and the spring season, that makes people focus on cute baby creatures, and soft, perfumed flowers and some how this led to the strange rabbit theory. But whatever you choose to observe or believe on this day, the resurrection, the season of new life, or the brightly-colored, sugar-covered marshmallows on sale, if you are a runner take advantage of the bounty of protein! EGGS!
Eggs are packed with protein, plus you can pick up varying amounts of Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Mine a little deeper and you'll hit some minerals, particularly iron. Plus eggs contain essential amino acids the body can’t manufacture. I could ramble on.
So how'd we celebrate? By dying about 2 dozen hard boiled eggs Saturday night! I'm sure when you think "snack", Easter eggs don't jump to mind, but really, they make for a fantastic snack! And at 70 callories a pop, who can complain?
