A sample fat and protein breakfast:

Asparagus with an egg, bacon and hemp butter

Hemp seeds have the perfect ratio of omega-6 to omega 3 fatty acids which is why they lower cholesterol, have antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Hemp seed butter is a great addition to fresh and grilled vegetables, porridge and smoothies. It can also serve as a great bread spread.

Preparation:

I preheated the oven to 200°C. Then I cut off woody ends from asparagus and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. I seasoned them and sprinkled with olive oil (it is best to spread oil with a special basting brush). I also put bacon rashers next to asparagus and roasted it all for about 10-12 minutes. Then I transferred it to a plate and topped with hemp butter. I served it with a fried egg.
