Do you want to create something special for Mother’s Day breakfast in bed? If you like breakfast and love healthy foods, we’ve got that special something that tastes like comfort food without the guilt of indulging. The Veggie Brekkie Bake is full of flavour and healthy goodness.

Mushrooms, spinach and eggs are full of great nutrients like protein, calcium, iron, zinc and healthy fats. Baking the ingredients makes sure that you’re cooking the ingredients in a healthy way while adding some crunch. Each serving is only 235 calories which means that your breakfast will be tasty and fit your daily calorie intake. If you like to add something else, a few chilli flakes or freshly diced chillies won’t add much more in calories but adds a great deal of flavour.
