This week, Bournemouth’s deputy mayor Phil Stanley-Watts shares his recipe for broccoli and spinach omelette.

Phil, who is a seasoned marathon runner, says this meal is a key part of his training diet and recommends it for anyone preparing for the Bournemouth Marathon Festival in October.

“This is a quick, nutritious meal.

“For more protein eat with salmon.

“It is also good for young children as it gives them strong bones.

“It is also a great energy provider which is perfect as a deputy mayor, and previously the town mayor, with engagements seven days week, you certainly need to have plenty of stamina.”
