    2. Eggs and Avocado are a great start to lunch!

      3. Eggs are a common allergy, but there are replacements!

      a. 1 in 13 children have some sort of food allergy, the top 8 allergens account for more than 90% of food allergies. Eggs are typically added to baked goods as an emulsifier, to hold things together and add height and texture and structure. For people who chose to eat a plant based or vegan lifestyle, or being that eggs are one of the top 8 allergies, there are options!

      b. If someone is looking for the protein packed way to start the day any wants to make an 'omelet' JUST Egg utilizes Hmong Beans as an egg look alike, this omelet has 15 grams of protein (we used 9 TB of JUST Egg)

      c. Kids who have an egg allergy means they cannot eat most pancakes, pizza crusts, cookies, ice creams or cakes. Using this egg replacer when you bake allows you to keep your baked good recipe similar and just add Bob`s Red Mill Egg Replacer. You can look for vegan products, knowing it wont have eggs. Kid`s with food allergies should never feel left out of family gatherings surrounding food!
