Start your day with a tasty protein punch
By Francesca Fox
Not only does its omega-3 content support everything from cognitive function to joint protection, a 115 gram serving contains 62% of the recommended daily intake of selenium. Salmon is also an excellent source of vitamins B6, B12 and D, as well as taurine.
In the form of a muffin, the combination of anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids and energy-boosting vitamins and amino acids makes it the ultimate breakfast. If you like, you can also add chorizo, green peas, sun-dried tomato, feta cheese or spinach to the mixture. Of course, this will alter the macros.
