Why It’s Balanced:

The avocado, olive oil and salmon provide heart healthy monounsaturated fats, these help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and prevent a blood sugar spike

The eggs, quinoa and salmon are an excellent source of high quality protein, which help to stabilise blood sugar through the morning as well as leaving us feeling fuller for longer

The cherry tomatoes and kale are a great source of fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
