Health Benefits

This breakfast is rich in monounsaturated fats from the avocado, which are heart-healthy and can help improve cholesterol levels. Eggs provide high-quality protein, essential for muscle maintenance and satiety. This combination helps stabilize blood sugar levels, making it an excellent choice for individuals managing diabetes or insulin resistance.
