Nutrition for You - Simple, Effective & Power Packed Breakfast

Simple; Effective & Power Packed Breakfast

Breakfast is your most important meal of the day. It sets you up for the hours ahead of you, and fuels your body with what it needs to be as fully functioning as possible; and believe it or not, it really isn’t as time consuming as you might think.

Ingredients:

Eggs

Tomatoes

Avocado Pear

Spring Onion

 

Scramble a few eggs together. Throw in some plum tomatoes along with some roughly chopped spring onions and avocado pear.

Try not to use oil or butter in your pan as this only adds unwanted fats that you don’t actually need when cooking something that is as quick as this is to fry up.

 In a mere 5-10mins you will have prepped, cooked, and eaten, a breakfast that will benefit your day more than anything else.

Even if you don’t like avocado or tomatoes etc… just experiment with other healthy options.

 A handful of water cress; or rocket leaves; would be beneficial substitutes.

 Remember the most important thing though… DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST!
