Oh… my…
Does the LEGENDARY AHTK glop have some competition??
Glop will forever and always have a special place in my heart, but I think it’s about time to toss in a more ~*~savory brekkie recipe to the mix.
Hold the sweets, KEEP THE FIBER.
So you know how this recipe is for breakfast… Like just one meal??
Well, it contains 65% of your daily fiber recommendation.
65%!!!
Because it has so much fiber, it’s important to make sure you’re drinking enough water; fiber needs water to work its magic!
Many patients from my clinical rotations and followers on Instagram ask why they’re constipated after they start eating more healthfully. The common reason is they aren’t drinking enough water to accommodate for their increased fiber intake!
(This is a very typical question when you’re a RD or RD2be)
Water is SO IMPORTANT because it…
- Aids in digestion
- Prevents constipation (fiber needs water to work its MAGIC !!)
- Cushions joints
- Regulates body temperature
- Maintains electrolyte balance
Note: I did not include measurements of cherry tomato, red onion, or chives. Add as many as your heart desires – the more, the merrier! 🙂
