The most horrible thing about eating healthy is trying to figure out something enjoyable to have for breakfast each day. Cereal is out of the question- too many useless carbs to start the day in a bad way. I’ll occasionally eat oatmeal, but since I don’t like it without a boatload of sugar… it’s not such a great choice either. Eggs are the obvious, favorite choice… but I have to get creative with the way that I make them.
I have been buying Eggland’s Best Eggs for years now, and this year I have the privilege of partnering with Eggland’s Best to share recipes with my readers. Compared to ordinary eggs, each Eggland’s Best egg contains 25% less saturated fat, 4 times more vitamin D, double the heart-healthy Omega-3s, 3 times more vitamin B12, 38% more lutein and 10 times more vitamin E. Their hens are fed an all-vegetarian diet with no added hormones, antibiotics or steroids. For more information, you can visit EgglandsBest.com.
If I can somehow incorporate a bunch of veggies into my breakfast, my body feels like it has gotten a great start to the day. A frittata is the best way to add as many vegetables to breakfast as possible! This frittata has FIVE CUPS of veggies in it, a small amount of cheese, 4 whole Eggland’s Best eggs and three Eggland’s Best egg whites.
A frittata is a four-serving meal. My husband and I love to eat a frittata for breakfast, and we save the second two servings to eat for lunch the following day.
There are a couple of ways to eat my vegetable frittata… you might love it served over a bed of arugula that has been tossed with olive oil and meyer lemon juice (my favorite)… and it’s equally good with a couple of spoonfuls of mango salsa on top. Eggs are a healthy way to start the day- they’re low in cholesterol, saturated fat and calories… and they contain a good amount of protein to help you feel full.
