Better than a protein shake

Hard boiled eggs are very easy to make, affordable, and very high in protein.  My mother used to cook them by boiling them until they were fully cooked--DON'T DO THIS!  Egg yolks turn green and taste like sulfur when they are overcooked, which they will if you boil them too long.

Cooking hard boiled eggs:

1. Put the eggs in a pan and cover with cold water.
2. Cook on high heat until water comes to rolling boil.
3. Remove pan from heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
4. Drain the water and rinse the eggs in cold water until they are cool enough to handle.
5. Remove the shells.
6. Enjoy tasty hard boiled eggs! Or put them in a container to enjoy them later.

How is this easier than a protein shake?  For starters, I don't need 12 other ingredients just to make the egg edible.  Hard boiled eggs taste good on their own or with a salad or just a bit of mustard, salt, and pepper. They also taste good plain.

I especially like eggs for a protein boost because I know the ingredients and how it was processed.  Protein powders are made from derived milk or plant proteins.  It's really just a supplement that is too big to hide in a tasteless capsule.  I prefer the natural approach: egg + heat = protein.
