Healthy fats improve flavour, help prevent sticking, and support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins found in eggs and herbs.
Fresh Basil
Basil contains antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatory compounds while adding a fresh, aromatic flavour that supports digestion.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle maintenance, bone health, and steady energy levels.
