IF YOU’VE HAD a conversation with anyone in the last two weeks, you’ve probably talked about eggs. Namely the price of eggs, which has skyrocketed to historic highs, reportedly due to the spread of bird flu, labor costs, and chicken feed. (If you’re curious, a glutton for punishment, and/or extremely bored, you can even track the cost of a dozen eggs in realtime here!)
But if you’re just worried about where you’re going to get your next high-protein meal, there are plenty of egg alternatives. While nothing can completely replace the nutritional wonder that is an egg—high in protein, loaded with essential vitamins and minerals—diversifying your diet is always a good thing.
These high-protein alternatives to eggs will help you eat the nutrients you need to stay strong—regardless of the price of eggs—and keep things delicious too.
