• 3-4 tbsp grated Parmesan

• 2 slices multigrain toast

 

Method:

• Add 4 cups of baby spinach and cook, tossing until wilted (about 1 minute).

• Stir in 3-4 tablespoons grated parmesan.

• Sprinkle with crushed red chilli flakes.

• Serve on toasted multi-grain toast of choice (1 slice).

 

Not Only Delicious, But Also Nutritious Because:

• Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein, along with being a good source of B2, selenium, vitamin D, B6 and B12. They are regarded a ‘complete’ source of protein as they contain all nine essential amino acids; the ones we cannot synthesise in our bodies and must obtain from our diet.

• Eggs are filling and when enjoyed for breakfast may help with weight management, as their high protein content helps us to feel fuller for longer.

 

Tip:

• Not feeling very hungry, drop the toast for a lighter breakfast.
