After a deep long sleep, your mind and body needs fuel to restart the day. That's why breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. This meal should provide you with enough nutrients and energy to help you take on the day with zeal. But the sad reality is that many people miss this meal in the rush of leaving home for school or work. But then there are some wise ones, who understand the importance of eating right in the morning and look for breakfast options that can be cooked in minutes and are health-giving as well. Eggs top the list of morning food items as they are stashed with proteins and good fats. They make for an ideal meal to activate and prepare the body for an action-packed day ahead.
To make the first meal of the day even more healthful, team your eggs with an equally, if not more, nutritious food - spinach. Pairing of spinach and eggs might seem unusual but trust us; the two go extremely well with each other.
- Both spinach and eggs provide a load up of proteins, vitamins, minerals and calcium.
- Whole eggs contain good fats, which provide the much-required energy to the body.
- Spinach is a great source of potassium, magnesium and powerful antioxidants.
Be smart and make a wholesome and delicious meal with eggs and spinach.
