Serves 1 Person

1 slice of sourdough bread (sourdough is chosen because its fermented using wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria which is great for gut health).

1/2 ripe avocado (supports heart health and reduces inflammation. Avocado also helps lower bad LDL cholesterol and raises good HDL cholesterol)

1 boiled egg crumbled (great source of protein. 1 medium egg is approximately 8 grams of protein)

1 tbsp greek yoghurt (always full fat as it's full of protein and helps balance gut bacteria)

4 cherry tomatoes halved (tomatoes are a great antioxidant)

Handful of baby spinach (low in calories high in fibre and packed full of nutrients)

1 tsp olive oil (healthy fat and an anti inflammatory)

Pinch of chilli flakes (adds a little bit of heat but also the added compound in chilli helps support fat oxidant and weight management)

Sprinkle of hemp seeds (increases the healthy fats and protein in the bowl)

Salt and pepper to taste (opt for a good quality rock salt as it carries more minerals)

The FitFarms Weight Loss Retreat Cooking Method

4. Then top the crumbled egg.
5. In another bowl toss the baby spinach and cherry tomatoes in olive oil and a pinch of salt.
