Nutrition Highlights
Peas

● High in fiber to support digestion and blood sugar balance
● Packed with vitamin C for collagen formation and immune health.
Goat Cheese
● Easier to digest than many cow’s milk cheeses
● Contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), linked to metabolic and cardiovascular benefits
● Adds healthy fats for hormone support and stable energy.
Whole Grain Bread
● Steady-release carbohydrates for lasting energy
● Supports gut health with fiber and minerals
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
● Rich in polyphenols and oleic acid, known to lower inflammation
● Supports heart health
Chives
● Mild flavor plus antioxidants that support immunity
How to Make It
1. Warm your whole-grain bread and lightly brush it with a little olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, gently mash your cooked peas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if you like brightness.
3. Spread a thin, even layer of goat cheese on the bread.
4. Spoon the mashed peas on top.
5. Finish with chopped chives, a crack of pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Make It Your Own
Feel free to play with variations while staying true to the HLX philosophy:
