Notes

Make It Personal:
Freshen your breaky bowl up with a squeeze of lemon juice.
For added crunch factor sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or toasted flaked almonds.
Add chopped cherry tomatoes.
Add your choice of veggies or even use up leftover vegetables.
You might like to leave out egg and add additional smoked salmon.
*You can also substitute smoked salmon for other protein like a lamb cutlet, organic sausages or even a piece of cooked fresh salmon.
Recipe Tips:
* Purchase a jar of fermented veg from your health food store.Avoid fermented veg if you have bacterial overgrowth in your gut.
To save time in the morning prep and cook your veggies with your dinner the night before.
Cooking your egg so the yolk is still runny will add a bonus dressing to your bowl. Yum!
Leftover capsicum will make a great snack, enjoy with one of our snack dips, add to salads or omelettes.
