We love this recipe because it's so tasty and extremely quick to prepare. It's also full of protein which triggers satiety and helps keep blood sugar levels stable...One large egg contains 5 grams of healthy fat, less than 1 gm carbs, and approximately 6 grams of protein.
Scrambled Eggs with Kale and Onion Pesto
Description
The Kale adds in Vitamin C, K, and A. It's also includes important anti-oxidants which help in lowering inflammation, reducing blood pressure and improving mood. Kale can help in reducing skin ageing, stress and controlling symptoms of cough and cold. The crunchy texture of Kale also prevents it from getting slimy and wilted like other green leaves, like spinach.

- Place a frying pan over low heat and add 1 tablespoon ghee. Add the onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the kale and cook for a further 4–5 minutes or until softened, adding more ghee if needed.
- Remove from the pan and place in a blender. Blitz for 30 seconds, or until fully combined.
- Place your frying pan back over low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee. In a bowl, gently whisk the eggs and add to the pan. Add 2–3 tablespoons onion pesto to the eggs and stir using a wooden spoon. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
