This recipe is a frugal but delicious combination of whatever veg you have hanging around in the fridge, chopped up small, cooked with some herbs, flavoured with a stock cube and butter and topped with poached eggs.
It saves any veggies going to waste, even if they are past their best and is mega cheap to make.
Camping eggs
This high protein combination of eggs, mushrooms, spinach and tomato is really easy to cook in a single pan on a camping stove (or at home). It remains one of my favourite ways to start the day.

This is the kind of dish that can be thrown together from those last few ingredients from the back of the cupboard. Just keep some chopped tomato or passata in there and the rest can easily be adjusted.

In my, humble, opinion, few fruits say summer quite like ripe peaches.
For this recipe, I combined them with some spinach, coconut water and oats to act as a tasty breakfast.
A pineapple smoothie for better digestion
Pineapple has long been used as digestive aid in folk remedies.
Whilst some folk remedies are questionable, it turns out they were right in this case.
Pineapples are a great source of the enzyme bromelain which helps to break down proteins. This is great news if you have overindulged on meat this weekend.
For this smoothie, I have combined pineapple & lemon since both may boost digestion.
Why should you be bothered about better digestion? Well, you have no other way of absorbing nutrients from food so getting this part right is crucial.
Ingredients for 2:
1/2 small pineapple, skin removed, cubed
1 lemon, peeled
2 dates
a cup of greens (I used spinach)
1 cup of almond milk (or a handful of almonds and a cup of water)
3 ice cubes
Blend until smooth.
Pour into awesome glasses.
Enjoy.
