The Bacon Scramble.
The Bacon Scramble.
FACT: Bacon is delicious.
FACT: Bacon has fat in it, which makes it even more “de-freaking-licious.”
FACT: My doctor is a “stick in the mud” who uses the word, “moderation” in the same sentence as “bacon.”
FACT: I’m looking for a new doctor. *Burp!*
I know many people who just can’t eat bacon due to health requirements. (My sincerest condolences!)
I also know many vegetarians who can’t eat bacon. (OK, now that was your choice!) But thanks to the peeps over at Light Life , there is a viable bacon substitute, called “Smart Bacon,” that can hold over the bacon addict, vegetarian or otherwise.
I’ve created a simple recipe that helps hardcore “Baconistas” forget (momentarily at least) that they aren’t eating the true pork product. Ergo, the Smart Scramble.
The Smart Scramble
Ingredients:
2 eggs (can be replaced with 4 egg whites or even egg substitute)
2 slices of Smart Bacon
1 handful of tomatoes (or any veggies you like)
1 “dash” of dried chives, sea salt and ground pepper.
Directions:
Break up the bacon into pieces and put in a skillet. (The breaking up of the “meat” will be pretty easy as the slices rarely are able to be stripped off the rasher as a whole slice…)
Cook these until almost crisp. While these are crisping, cut your veggie(s). Personally, I love tomatoes for this, but spinach is good too!
Mix your eggs and seasoning.
Pour everything into the already hot skillet.
Scramble to your liking and serve!
Enjoy!
Each slice of Smart Bacon affords its recipient only 20 calories and just 1gram of fat and 2 grams of protein.

I have to say, Smart Bacon is the best “bacon substitute” I’ve had yet and it is very good for those mornings where I remember my “New Year’s Resolution” of healthier eating. (Boo!)
Still, I must stress that nothing… Absolutely NOTHING… compares to the original “Meat Candy” = Bacon!
