It’s Sunday in Bologna, the sun is shining, and I’m enjoying my morning on the balcony. Breakfast is a fundamental moment, and all nutritionists recommend having it with healthy and energetic foods because it provides the necessary energy to the body and brain after a night’s sleep, recharging and restarting optimally thanks to the nutrients you consume.
Today, I prepared the recipe for the soft camilla cake with carrots and almonds, a well-leavened and soft cake great for breakfast in the morning and also delicious for an afternoon snack accompanied by a nice glass of FRUIT JUICE…
Carrots are a vegetable that provides many benefits to our body because they are antioxidants, rich in vitamins and minerals, low in calories, and thanks to their high fiber content, they play a protective role on the digestive tract mucosa.
