Sometimes I feel like switching up my usual breakfast and reach for fresh vegetables, olive oil and lots of parsley. The Mediterranean cuisine is known for its association with health and this is a really fresh way to start the day.

Did you for instance know, that only 20 g of fresh parsley provides you with 364 % of daily recommended intake of Vitamin K, 35% of Vitamin C, and 12 % Vitamin A? It’s pretty amazing.

Today, I will show you a combination of fresh fruit, vegetables sauteed in olive oil, served with fried halloumi and a smoothie bowl.

If you want to keep the breakfast vegan & paleo, I recommend to exchange the halloumi for mixed natural nuts.
