Breakfast Challenge Day 2

Another day is another opportunity for you to nourish and nurture your body and well-being. By avoiding processed cereals and refined wheat products you allow your digestive system to do it's job with ease, and that is to break down and assimilate nutrients from your food.
Offering your body healthy and vital food allows your system to thrive and heal itself.
It provides your cells with valuable fuel to energise your system, for longer periods. It makes you beautiful from the inside so that your outside can glow.........


Poached Eggs with Fresh Herbs

Poach 2 eggs in a saucepan with a little vinegar (apple cider vinegar is best)
Remember to stir the water to create a gentle spin to fold and poach the egg well
Finely slice a good handful of fresh herbs such as baby spinach, parsley, coriander or kale
Make a small mix of *Dulse flakes and *Hemp seeds and add a little extra sea salt to taste (but try first as the Dulse has a lovely oceanic flavour)





Place the eggs on some paper towel in a bowl to remove excess water or moisture before plating
Sprinkle the herb salad around the eggs and then add the Dulse & Hemp seed mix

If you need more 'oomph' to your breakfast you could add 1 slice of sprouted or Gluten Free bread

*Dulse flakes are a dessicated seaweed perfect for sprinkling on savoury dishes. They are a valuable source of iodine, iron, calcium and trace minerals.

*Hemp seeds are high in essential fatty acids, fibre, and protein. They have a subtle and tasty nutty flavour and are great addition to many savoury dishes and spreads, especially good on salads and vegetables.

  1. Yum, love the idea to add Dulse flakes & hemp seeds to my humble poached eggs in the morn.

    Interested more in the apple cider vinegar. Is a shot of ACV also a good pre-breaky starter to get stomach alkalinity happening similar to a warm lemon juice?

    Keep those nutritious breaky's coming Melanie. Love the shopping list idea. Great for Mums & Dads on the run to add to their regular shop, minus the cereals:-)

  2. Hi BP,
    I often suggest people use the ACV in the morning. I like to use it as a small shot with fresh lime juice. Normally I would suggest it as part of a cleansing or detox program and only once per day. (morning best). However I always have ACV in my pantry and use it a lot (salad dressings etc). Thanks for you comments! :)
