Fast becoming my favourite meal!
I’ve never been a breakfast eater, a cup of Milo when I was young, a tall mug of coffee when I grew up and I was out the door.
One of the biggest changes of this diet has been to wake a little earlier to make myself a good breakfast in order for my body’s metabolism to stablise.
As Vegemite on toast was not on the list of approved meals – but peanut butter and (thank goodness!) Nutella is – and I hate oats, there were just a handful of options.
This simple smoked salmon on rye with avocado and plain yoghurt (not sour cream) with just the smallest crack of black pepper and sprinkling of sea salt is the perfect breakfast for converts.
Aside from being delicious, what I like more is that it feels almost like lunch, but just brunch enough to keep you full (mentally and physically) till lunch rolls round.
Here’s the recipe (and rough calorie count):
2 slices of rye bread (toasted) – 160 calories
1 oz of smoked salmon (1/3 of a 100g pack) – 33 calories
1/4 avocado – 54 calories
1 tbsp plain non-fat yoghurt – 30 calories
Squeeze of lemon juice
Guess what I’m having in a few hours…
