Turkey Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich with Strawberry Smoothie
Can you adapt a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich to the FUEL plate?
No sweat.
Traditional bacon is high in saturated fat and sodium. And because it is a processed meat that has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, it should ideally be consumed very sparingly or not at all.
That can be tough if you grew up on Southern cuisine.
This easy sandwich provides a healthier alternative. Start with 100% whole grain English muffins or 100% whole grain bagel thins. Top with a little bit of scrambled egg and cheese and a piece of lean turkey bacon (preferably sodium nitrite free). Fill the rest of your plate up with fresh seasonal fruit, such as peaches. Serve with a strawberry- banana smoothie.
