Eggs - Anya Sachs

Unlike other summer camps, at keeners, we get to make our own breakfast. There is a lot of options that you can choose from for breakfast, with varying levels of difficulty. The easiest is cereal, or froot loops, and that seems to be a lot of what many people eat here everyday. Another good option is toast, which you can then spread peanut butter, jam, or my personal favourite, nutella on. But, unfortunately, you can't rely on nutella for nutritional value. So what I recommend to eat for breakfast is eggs. Eggs are an amazing source of high quality protein, and will keep you energized and feeling full until lunch. In two eggs, you can find 13 grams of protein. The protein found in eggs also contains all 9 essential amino acids, which are considered to be the building blocks for the body. In addition to protein, eggs contain nutrients such as iron, vitamins A, D, E, B12, and folate. Some ways to include eggs in your keener breakfast is to scramble them, and then add cheese, bacon bits, and salt and pepper. Or if you're feeling rushed in the mornings, you can hard boil a few eggs in the evening, put them in the fridge, and then eat one or two the next day. At keenerville, where you have limited ingredients, eggs are the key to having a healthy breakfast.
