Nutrient Dense Breakfast Board
Health Fun Fact
For those who don’t know, the definition of nutrient-density is the amount of beneficial minerals/vitamins in a food relative to its weight or caloric amount. So a low nutrient dense food (like chips, candy, refined carbs, junk food) has low nutrient profile relative to its weight and number of calories. Whereas foods like liver, oysters, steak, salmon, and raw dairy, have high nutrient densities! That’s why I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat more nutrient-dense foods (especially for breakfast) and it led to me making this beautiful breakfast board
Instead of just toast every morning (nothing wrong with that, but it is good to change it up), I’ve been trying to incorporate a variety of nutrient-dense foods to start my day off right. This breakfast board ensures that you’re getting all your vitamins and minerals!
Recipe
* all ingredients that I used are organic. I definitely recommend buying organic if you can afford it! The quality of your food matters
Ingredients*:
medium-boiled pasture raised egg (I like Organick’s Pasture Raised Eggs) sprinkled with Redmond Sea Salt
raw cheddar (I love Raw Farm USA)
baby cut carrots
hummus from the farmer’s market (make sure there’s no sunflower/canola/vegetable oil. Olive oil is best)
strawberries & blueberries
green olives (careful that the ones you buy don’t contain sunflower/canola oil)
raw kefir (again Raw Farm USA)
Instructions:
Boil your eggs for about 6 minutes to get medium-boiled eggs (or for however long you wish)
In the meantime, prep everything else on the plate
Enjoy!
