Method
Soft Boiled Eggs

Steamed Asparagus
- Trim the ends off the asparagus.

Not Only Delicious But Also Nutritious Because:
Asparagus is rich in inulin which is a soluble dietary fibre and works as a prebiotic helping to stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut. Good gut health has been linked to improved mood, immune function and weight management.
