For me, the simplest protein intake is to hard boil and eat them with a bit of salt. If you want to mix it up a little, then here's my simple egg salad recipe.

The only difference now is instead of using regular mayonnaise (which contains soybean oil), I've switched to mayo made with avocado oil.

Stay tuned for my attempt coming up shortly at homemade mayo!
