😔 Low Appetite

Use just quarter avocado and half the egg on half slice toast. Still provides 8g protein and healthy fats.

🤢 Feeling Nauseous

Serve at room temperature. Skip pepper. Very soft runny egg is gentlest. Plain is fine.

😊 Normal Appetite

Use full portion with whole avocado and 2 eggs for 32g protein. Add cherry tomatoes on side.

💜 Mashed avocado spread with your fingers and a roughly poached egg is still nutritious. Perfection not required.

💜 Even eating half provides excellent nutrition with healthy fats and protein together.

📦 Storage & Make-Ahead

Poached egg best eaten immediately. Mashed avocado keeps 24 hours with cling film pressed directly on surface. Make fresh each time.
