Turmeric scrambled eggs with spinach & tomatoes
These turmeric scrambled eggs are a great way to super charge “normal” scrambled eggs with an extra anti oxidant boost.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the health benefits of consuming turmeric, although you might be wondering how to add it into your diet.
Start by reading this post,THE AMAZING BENEFITS OF TURMERIC.
Below I’ll give you some simple suggestions for adding turmeric to your food.
Turmeric is one of the best spices to add to eggs
I find turmeric goes really well with eggs, especially scrambled eggs. Just remember to also add some black pepper to help your body to fully absorb the turmeric.
Try sprinkling some turmeric on top of your fried eggs, boiled, or poached eggs too.
Another easy way to enjoy this earthy spice is to sprinkle turmeric, smoked paprika, salt & pepper over root veggies like potato, carrot & pumpkin, and bake bake them.
This turmeric scrambled eggs recipe has some spinach and tomatoes added as well, so you’ll get an extra hit of veggies too.
