When it comes to eating healthy, no meal is more important than breakfast.
Studies show that breakfast is responsible for providing the energy and nutrients that last the whole day – as it restores glucose levels and improves memory and concentration.
A healthy breakfast makes a huge difference to your day – so take the time to prepare. Here are some meal recipe ideas for quick, healthy breakfasts.
Poached Egg Avocado Toast
Avocado is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. A source of good dietary fat, this is a superfood that is good to get in early.
The protein contained in eggs will also give you a good start to the day. Use whole wheat toast or gluten free bread depending on your allergies.
You’ll need 2 eggs, avocado, lemon juice, 2 slices of bread, 2 spoons of white wine vinegar and some salad.
