'I'm a nutritionist and I am obsessed with this easy breakfast'
Emily English, 30, has shared a breakfast recipe that's packed with protein but low in calories A nutritionist has highlighted an unexpected breakfast option that's a mere 380 calories and notably 'quick to make'. Emily English, aged 30, boasts that her creation is not just rich in protein but also keeps you energised and satiated throughout the morning. Contrary to what some might guess – perhaps an omelette, toastie or even a Full English – her speciality is actually inspired by Mexican cuisine. She's dubbed it 'breakfast tacos'. "Soft fluffy cheddar scramble breakfast tacos," she said on TikTok recently. "I am obsessed with these tacos, made with soft cheesy pepper scrambled eggs, toasted corn tacos, avocado and finished with hot sauce. These are so satisfying and keep me full all morning and are also so quick to make." Emily begins her recipe by chopping a spring onion and a quarter of a green pepper. She then sautés these ingredients for about two to three minutes over medium heat until the greens soften. After reducing the heat, Emily whisks together two eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. She suggests adding them to the pan with the greens and softly stirring with a spatula. The goal is to create 'soft egg ribbons' – the main component of the taco. "When it still looks a little undercooked, grate over the cheese and either fold in and leave to melt on top," Emily described. "Turn off the heat and place a lid on the pan. While the eggs cook, warm the tacos in a dry pan for about 30 seconds per side until lightly toasted." After the tacos have been warmed and plated up, Emily recommends adding some sliced avocado before piling the fluffy scrambled eggs on top. Those who enjoy a bit of heat are then urged to reach for hot sauce, Sriracha, and fresh coriander or chives for an added kick. "Drizzle with hot sauce or sriracha and enjoy immediately," she added. Avocados, often renowned as a superfood and King Charles' 'favourite lunchtime snack, ' are packed with nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and healthy fats. In 2022, the American Heart Association (AHA) reported that consuming two servings of avocado weekly was associated with a notably reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, which causes thousands of deaths annually in the UK. "These findings are significant because a healthy dietary pattern is the cornerstone for cardiovascular health, however, it can be difficult for many Americans to achieve and adhere to healthy eating patterns," Dr Cheryl Anderson, chair of the AHA's Council on Epidemiology and Prevention, said previously. "We desperately need strategies to improve intake of AHA-recommended healthy diets — such as the Mediterranean diet — that are rich in vegetables and fruits." Moreover, tucking into eggs has been linked with a rise in 'good cholesterol' and even potential weight loss advantages. Helen Bell, a nutritionist at the UK Care Guide, recently told the Mirror: "In my experience, consuming eggs as a snack can actually be quite beneficial for weight loss. Eggs are high in protein, which helps to increase satiety and keep you feeling fuller for longer. "This can reduce the overall calorie intake throughout the day. But, it's important to watch portion sizes and prepare them in a healthy way, like boiling or poaching, to avoid adding unnecessary fats." Emily's ingredient list for breakfast tacos (serves one) Two small corn or wheat tacos Hot sauce/ Siracha to serve Two eggs Mature cheddar (20g) One-quarter of a green pepper diced One diced spring onion One-quarter of a small avocado cut into four strips Fresh coriander or chives

There's a matcha shortage. Blame me
It was the sort of minimalist coffee shop you imagine only exists in a painfully cool corner of Copenhagen, except here I was in south London, feeling totally out of my depth. Everything was black — the counter, the coffee machine, the straws, the staff uniforms. Inside a black glass-fronted case, a single caramel bun sat on a black marble coaster. The menu was similarly sparse: a handful of coffees and 'matcha'. I panicked and ordered the latter which, when it came, turned out to be a bright green iced drink (no black matcha available?) that tasted smooth, slightly bitter and savoury but with a creamy texture. • Read restaurant reviews and recipes from our food experts And that is how I became part of the problem, someone who drinks far more iced matcha than any normal 41-year-old woman should. Turns out that Gen Z are already onto this ancient Japanese green tea, which has trickled down from wellness influencers to everyday consumers, matcha offering a load of apparent health benefits but also, crucially, looking striking on social media. Instagram is awash with the stuff: #matcha has had nine million posts and counting. Hardly a day seems to go by without the Deliciously Ella founder Ella Mills posting a photograph of herself holding an iced matcha (that's the tea, mixed with milk and ice) and in a recent podcast episode she asked whether matcha was about to steal coffee's crown. The nutritionist influencer Emily English (@emthenutritionist, 1.8 million followers) has released a loungewear collection that includes a pair of pale green pyjamas she's called Matcha PJs. You can buy matcha in powdered form to make at home — Holland and Barrett has reported a 77 per cent increase in sales — and matcha lattes are on the menu everywhere from Starbucks to Caffè Nero and, of course, Gail's, where I just happened to pick up an iced matcha for a mere £4.60 the other day. Turns out I might have been lucky to do so. Worryingly for matcha fans everywhere, talk is brewing of a worldwide shortage and on social media things are turning ugly. • Gen Z's thirst for matcha is outstripping supply Simply: demand is outstripping supply. According to the research company Grand View, the UK market generated a revenue of £45.5 million in 2024 and is predicted to reach £72 million by 2030. Meanwhile, Japan's farmers are struggling to hire workers who can harvest and mill the tea fast enough. There are reports of tourists visiting Japanese shops and buying bags full of the country's high-grade ceremonial matcha (used for culturally important tea ceremonies and not usually mixed with milk or sweet syrups as we might in lattes — sacrilege). Some stores have imposed limits of one or two tins per customer. On TikTok (#matchatok) and Instagram people are landing themselves in hot water for perceived matcha overconsumption. One influencer who travelled back from her Japanese honeymoon with a suitcase full of tins was told by a follower, 'This is the greed they talk about in the Bible.' Matcha drinkers are policing one another over how many grams of the powdered tea it is acceptable to put in a single cup and criticising those who stockpile, given its limited shelf life. There are even video hacks showing how to open your tin without any of the precious powder accidentally escaping and floating through the air. Heaven forfend. • The tiny Japanese town struggling to supply the West's thirst for matcha Here's the thing: I can't even tell you why I like the stuff. Or if I actually do. I'm vaguely aware that it has health benefits — unlike regular green tea, the whole leaf is used, meaning it contains a higher level of antioxidants and nutrients that may help with heart health, brain function, gut health, lower cholesterol and stress (thanks to the amino acid L-theanine, in case you're interested). In truth, it's handy in the early afternoon when I've already had my coffee quota for the day but want another little caffeine boost. It depends on the person but, in general, matcha doesn't cause the jitters in the same way that too many cappuccinos might. It's also weirdly moreish and far more interesting than ordering a basic iced latte. Plus, did I mention that it looks great on the 'gram?

English believes food is "amazing" and it is also possible to eat good food while getting plenty of nutrients. English, also known as "@emthenutritionist" on Instagram, shares recipes with her 1.8+ million followers. She said she started doing so during the COVID lockdowns. First Glp-1 Pill For Weight Loss, Diabetes Shows Success In Late-phase Trial "I started by actually - it was during lockdown at the time when COVID was rife, and I used to open my kitchen cupboard and I used to balance my phone on the shelf of the kitchen cupboard so it would look top down onto my chopping board and I would film me making what I would eat that day." English was inspired to study nutrition when she witnessed toxic diet culture and also when her own relationship with food suffered. Read On The Fox News App "I kind of realized I had this massive gap in my knowledge of the human body and something that I do every single day — and that's eat. So, I felt like there was this real big detachment from normal nutrition and what we were learning about nutrition." While creating recipes for people to enjoy, English wants her recipes to be loved but also for people to feel satisfied after eating them. "I also want people to feel full and satisfied and content because... Feeling full and satiety and feeling kind of okay, I'm done, is such an important part of a healthy balanced diet and so many people think, 'oh nutrition I'm just not I'm going to be starving all the time,' if that makes sense, but I won't yeah, I want people to feel comfortable, content and full."

So, it nourishes your body, it nourish your mind," English said about her new book. English concluded that it doesn't take drastic changes to live a healthier lifestyle. "You don't have to change every single thing that you already do in order to be healthier. So, diets don't work because they overhaul everything, and you suddenly lose every single bit of identity that you have with how you normally eat. So, what I always say is take what you do and think about the easy things that you know that you can change, but actually make that change every day because it's the tiny differences that we can actually stick to that are going to make the difference long term."
