Notes & Tips
🥒 Zucchini in Breakfast? Yes Please.
Zucchini is a gentle vegetable that pairs beautifully with eggs. It’s high in water and potassium, which can help reduce bloat and support hydration. It’s also mild enough in flavor to absorb herbs and spices without overpowering the dish.
Including vegetables in your breakfast is a game-changer for gut health—it helps lower inflammation, regulate digestion, and start your day with nutrient density instead of sugar or starch.
And of course, you don’t need to just include zucchini. If you have other vegetables in your crisper, chop them up and throw them in. A little bit of red capsicum (bell pepper) is a wonderful addition to this candida-safe breakfast. And not just for the colour either!
