Green Brekkie

People often ask me what my favourite dish is, and I usually avoid the question by answering, “Oh, there are so many…” but to be honest, I do have favourites, but I’m embarrassed to say what they are because I’m going to sound so boring. My favourite meals are brunches, and they are mostly vegetarian, without a lot of flavour and while I do love my sugar, I am lucky that I also love fresh fruit and veggies in every way: raw, steamed, cooked, stir fried, in salads and in a wrap!

I made this green breakfast the other day and it was heavenly. By blanching the veggies, they still stayed crisp and preparing them takes only about 4 minutes. I practically drank the sauce, it was so delicious, it is by far the BEST TAHINI SAUCE EVER. I made just enough sauce for this breakfast because if I had made anymore I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself from drinking it! For anyone who is watching their weight, it’s a low fat super-healthy meal. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Perfect combo of healthy and delicious
