Southwestern Scramble
Protein is important for building and repairing muscle, and supplying our bodies with enough calories to get through the day. It’s especially important to eat plenty of protein in the hot summer months to replenish energy drained from our bodies by heat. This protein-packed scramble can be made many different ways; try it with eggs or crumbled tofu! Eat as is or with tortillas and toppings!
