2. Low Carb Eggs Benedict

Eggs for breakfast are a great source of protein to get you started on a Monday morning, or even lazing around on a Sunday... but usually eggy meals end up being really high on calorific value. This is an intelligent balance between warm enjoyment and a healthy start. As ever, Lo-Dough is high in fibre and protein anyway, so the freedom here is great. Eggs are easy and fast, and you'll have a nice and energised morning.
