Swiss chard is a nutrient-dense vegetable that is surprisingly easy to grow. If you cannot grow your own, buy a good quality organic bunch of Swiss chard. I produce my own eggs and choose breeds of chickens that lay medium-sized eggs which make better poached eggs. If you buy eggs, buy medium eggs – preferably free-range pasture-fed eggs as these have a better nutritional profile. Again, if you can grow your own carrots – do so!! If not try and buy baby carrots that are fresh and still have their tops on. The ones in packets that have been treated with preservatives are not very good for one and have far fewer nutrients.

Recipe Note

The final product is a ridiculously nutrient-dense, healthy, and filling breakfast that will carry you for hours before you feel hungry due to the healthy energy-rich fats in the chicken eggs, and the low carbohydrate nature of the meal. On alternate days I either add sour cream butter or skip it. This works for me – today was a no-butter day. The butter has some health benefits in moderation.
