gg Mug Awareness: A Must-Read Guide
Some tips and tricks for your egg mug fix...
1. Don't worry if the contents of your mug expand and rise to crazy-high
heights while in the microwave. This is okay and expected. They'll calm down
after you're done nuking them.
2. Our egg mug recipes are 100000% guilt-free. Sometimes we eat two at a
time. Sometimes we pair one with a lovely Fuji. Just sayin'...
3. On the go? Wrap your microwave-made scramble in a high-fiber tortilla or
stuff it inside a Sandwich Thin. Mmmmm!!!

HG Oops! Yesterday's email featured a great video about understanding
organic foods, by super-savvy health journalist Robert Davis, PhD, a.k.a.
The Healthy Skeptic. We mistakenly linked to an unaffiliated site with the
same name. Please check out the correct site by clicking here. And don't
miss his must-read book (seriously, IT ROCKS), The Healthy Skeptic: Cutting
through the Hype about Your Health. Keep up the awesome work, Robert!
CHEW ON THIS:
It's National Fig Week. We like our figs paired with CHOCOLATE, so we'll be
enjoying 100-calorie Chocolate Fig VitaTops and 160-calorie bags of
Figamajigs!
