Yummy Deviled Eggs

Posted by elizabeth waldmann on July 29th, 2013

We here at Distinctive Mountain Events have a passion for…deviled eggs. I know, you thought we would say something like decorations or a great light setup. Yes, those things are amazing but what really gets us is a great deviled egg. We found this healthy spin on one of our favorite workout websites BodyRock and it is awesome! The step by step directions are below so try it out and let us know what you think, Cheers!

 

Ingredients:

6 hard boiled eggs, 6 teaspoons of plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons of dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons of finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of paprika, chilli powder.

Take the eggs out of their shells and cut them in half.

By the way, eggs play an important role in well balanced healthy diet for numerous health benefits. The egg whites are also an amazing source of protein and one egg contains only 70 calories.

Take the yolks out and put them into a bowl.

Remember that most of the key nutrients including half of the eggs protein are found in egg yolk so if you don’t eat the egg yolks you are basically missing out on many of the egg’s nutritional benefits.

Crumble the yolks with a fork.

Add the yogurt and mustard to the yolk.

Notice that there is no mayo in this recipe. I am using plain yogurt instead.

Add the onion as well and move it around a little to mix the ingredients.

Did you know that onions can improve your lung function and therefore they are great for astmatics? Onions in your diet will also protect you from certain infections,cancers, and cardiovascular disease.

Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of honey out of the honey bear right over the mixture.

Yum, I love honey! It’s an energy booster because it’s a natural sources of carbs and it’s known for preventing fatigue during exercise. Everyone should include honey into their diet to support their wedding planning 😉

Add the paprika and move the egg yolks carefully around.

Paprika is also a part of overall healthy diet because it’s high in vitamin C and may help in digestion, improve blood circulation, and regulate blood pressure.

Sprinkle some chilli powder over the top – it’s up to you how spicy you wanted to be. Chilli has all kinds of health benefits and may help you to boost your immunity and improve your cardiovascular system. Eating chilli can be also beneficial in weight loss because the heat you feel after eating chilli takes energy and calories.

Take a teaspoon and fill the hard boiled egg whites with the mixture. Sprinkle the top of each egg with paprika, serve and enjoy!
