My home-cooked meat-free veggie Bank Holiday weekend cooked breakfast

Eggs from the local farm shop chickens, seeded wholemeal bread from the Island Bakery with rather a generous spread of organic butter, wilted spinach, beef tomato slices, avocado and mushrooms.

A healthy breakfast worth waiting for

After a 12 hour overnight fast for a healthy gut. After a 16/18 hour overnight fast to lose weight. After exercise. Tomatoes, wilted spinach, mushrooms, poached eggs on sourdough toast with avocado and chillies and an espresso coffee. A yummy breakfast of protein, low carb and good fats. . . . .. .
