This is a delicious meal from my cookbook Purely Delicious and it makes for the perfect beauty-boosting dish. It’s overflowing with antioxidants and protein to help keep skin glowing from the inside out.
Kale is part of the cabbage family and is a wonderful source of the three main antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E. Vitamin C assists with collagen absorption, while vitamin E is known to assist cell function and repair, making this vegetable brilliant for supporting skin health.
The eggs provide a wonderful source of protein and contain all the essential amino acids our skin needs for nourishment and repair. Not only does a quality protein source help you glow, but it also assists with weight management, as it helps to curb appetite.
