TIPS
TIPS Use the milk that makes you feel good, whether that’s full-fat or low-fat dairy or nut milks to make it dairy free or vegan. • Be sure to peel and slice your banana before freezing so you don’t break your blender. • If your machine can’t chop ice, simply add a few cubes before you drink it.

If you love this recipe but don’t have time on weekdays, you can make lots of the tomato sauce (up to the second step) and store the mixture in the fridge or freezer. Then simply heat it in the frying pan in the morning and add the eggs. This is a great breakfast if you like to go camping. • If you love mushrooms, add a cup of chopped mushrooms with the tomatoes. Like it hot? Add an extra ½ teaspoon of chilli flakes for a delicious warm heat. • Use gluten-free toast if you want to make it gluten free.
