“Eggs are a great protein and potassium fix which is great for recovery after sport, they fill you up and help repair damaged tissues and cells and to maintain a healthy immune system. Chickpeas are a nutritional powerhouse. Full to the brim of protein, fibre, B-vitamins, iron, potassium and are also low in fat. They can help support healthy digestion, and have slow release energy thanks to their low GI (great for people suffering from diabetes). Cooked tomatoes are high in the phytonutrient lycopene which helps fight heart disease. Overall, a nutritiously balanced brekkie. Get sharing it with your buddies. They’ll love you for it.”
