This frittata is high in protein to keep you full until lunchtime with no sugar spikes and dips. Eggs are a powerhouse, providing protein, calcium, vitamin D, choline, and more, for equilibrium and balance, a clear head, and energy. I’d recommend a couple of eggs every day - free range always, and organic if you can. There’s even more protein here in the form of feta and peas plus spinach for vitamin C, and a magnesium and calcium boost which is great for muscle recovery. It’s ready in less than 15 minutes and keeps in the fridge for 5 days, so that’s breakfast sorted for 3 days in 15 mins!
3 portions.
