Breakfast or brunch, as we all know, is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it provide us with the right fuel and nutrients we need for sustained energy levels throughout the day, it also helps with better metabolism, digestion and our overall mental and physical well-being.
For the perfect start to your pregnant day, we’ve created a delicious, simple and healthy scrambled eggs dish with three green and three red vegetables. On the red side, you’ll find Spanish onion, capsicum and mini Roma tomatoes, while our greens include spinach, zucchini and basil leaves. All you need is a chopping board, sharp knife, bowl, whisk, frying pan, and wooden spoon, and you will be able to serve up an amazing brunch that will be enjoyed by all your guests…and you!
