Here is the Paleo breakfast I had earlier today.  Not a cereal grain in sight!

I tend to eat eggs most days for breakfast.   Eggs are great for many reasons.  They are a wholesome food.  Eggs are a high quality protein food - containing all the essential amino acids and a great source of balanced macro and micro nutrients.  It is easy to digest and has a high level of bioavailability, which means that most of the nutrients ingested are absorbed and utilised by the body.

To increase the amount of healthy fats I have used copious amounts of extra-virgin coconut oil, added a whole avocado and a palmful of walnuts.

I also enjoy a high level of antioxidants with rocket, spinach, red cos and green batavia, washed down with peppermint and green tea. (No coffee).
