I was awake in bed the other night plotting, as I usually do, about what to eat in the morning. I needed a fast breakfast to fuel me up for early carpooling and errands and then a trip to the gym and I was in a “sweet” crunchy mood.  Plus, I only needed enough breakfast for me, my family has mismatched schedules and all do their own thing for morning meals. Giant Sweet Tart Cherry Protein Cookie

I remembered the can of my favorite workout drink (Collagen Endurance Plus from Great Lakes Wellness) on the kitchen counter.

Sometimes, if my meal intentions have changed over the course of the week (impromptu lunch invitations, traveling, post-Easter surplus, or just preference), I may have a few extra leftover hard-boiled eggs waiting to fulfill their destiny.
