The Science of the Dish
Eggs provide lecithin and choline to maintain cellular membranes and enhance brain function during fat metabolism. Almond flour delivers monounsaturated fats and magnesium, stabilising blood glucose while promoting satiety. Smoked salmon is an abundant source of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which reduce inflammation and improve lipid profiles in ketogenic diets. Avocado brings oleic acid and potassium to balance electrolytes and support cardiovascular health. Coconut flour adds gentle fibre that aids digestion without pushing carbohydrate limits.
Together, these ingredients orchestrate a biochemical harmony that fuels mitochondrial efficiency and supports sustained energy without sugar spikes. The result is a meal that feels indulgent but functions like nutritional architecture.
