This is one of my go to breakfasts when I'm short on time but want something that actually feels nourishing. Fresh peas are packed with protein and fibre, which keep you satisfied all morning long. The whole thing comes together in just 15 minutes, and honestly, you probably have most of these ingredients already in your kitchen. I love how the bright mint and lemon make such a simple dish feel special, while a sprinkle of chilli adds just enough heat to wake up your taste buds. Toast it, top it, maybe add an egg if you're feeling fancy, and you've got yourself a proper breakfast.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.
