Every morning I try and get some greens and some protein in me, to give me energy to power through my day. However, I'm one of those people who likes things quick and easy, tasty, and with minimum clean up. This loaf is packed with vitamins and provides strong alkalising properties, but also tastes pretty yum!
Kale is already renowned as a super food, packed with iron, calcium and vitamin C. It also provides anti-inflammatory properties, and the all mighty antioxidants. Cherry tomatoes are not only packed full of sweet, delicious flavour, they too provide strong antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties as well as being great for improving bone health, thanks to vitamin K and vitamin C. We all know how fab eggs are, brilliant sources of protein to help maintain a healthy weight and strong muscles. However, eggs are an acidic food, so best to pair it with dark leafy greens, tomatoes and, my all time fave, turmeric. Turmeric's health benefits are endless. From anti-inflammatory, to analgesic, to antibacterial and aiding fat metabolism, the list goes on and on!

In a large bowl, whisk together all 14 large eggs, combining in turmeric, paprika, ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt
Pour the eggs over the kale and cherry tomatoes, ensuring all the egg is evenly spread throughout the loaf tin
