Protein charged breakfast to keep your hunger at bay throughout the course of the morning. Swap edamame for any of your favourite legumes / beans that are pre-cooked or tinned, rinsed and drained. Good quality extra virgin olive oil is going to deliver you the healthy mono-unsaturated fats and antioxidants to support cardiovascular and brain function, not to mention contribute to healthy weight management.
