Recipe: Breakfast the Right Way! Poached Eggs With Spinach & Mushrooms

We’ve all heard it: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

It really is true, and here’s why: Eating a well-rounded breakfast revs up our metabolism and helps us burn calories all day long. It also gives us the energy we need to get through the day, improves our memory and concentration, and provides a whole host of health benefits, including lowering our risk for obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

Breakfast also contributes to our daily nutrient needs—but only if we eat the right things! This recipe for poached eggs with vegetables delivers plenty of protein, vitamins and antioxidants to start your day the right way! It can also be cooked in less than 10 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to still get out the door on time.
