I found that I eat spinach just about every day! It has such great health benefits and with the fact that I drink Green Smoothies often, I have become accustomed to having Spinach for breakfast. Makes it easy to get in my daily dose of veggies! This a staple breakfast for me and thought I'd share. Simple ingredients, low calorie, great amount of protein, and takes about 20 - 30 minutes to bake.
Spinach Protein Frittata Bowl
Ingredients:
1 to 2 cups of Spinach
1 to 2 slices of turkey bacon or 1 - 2 turkey sausage links
2 egg whites (about 6 tbsp) or 1 whole egg and 1 egg white !
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Cook the sausage or bacon.
While that is cooking, cook the spinach lightly and then mix into a bowl with the egg. Season with salt and pepper.
Once meat is done, chop it up into small pieces and then add it with the spinach and egg mixture. Mix that together and the pour it into a small baking bowl. You may lightly grease the bowl.
Put into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, turn on the broiler.
Let the oven broiler cook the top of your frittata bowl. In about 5 - 10 minutes the top should have turned a golden brown. It will rise some. You can turn off the broiler and put the oven back on 350 and let it cook about 5-10 minutes.
Take the bowl out of the oven and let it sit for a couple minutes. The top will deflate a bit. Enjoy! I usually have this with a side of some grapefruit or whatever fruit available!
Serving: It's your own little bowl! No sharing!
Calories: At most roughly 200. That is based on 2 turkey sausage, 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, and 2 cups of spinach.
Tip: When I use 2 egg whites I add a little water to the mix.
I'm pretty simple but don't be afraid to add other things like onions and tomatoes into the frittata. I'm going to add cheese to my next one!
What is a good to breakfast meal for you?
Do you eat a lot of spinach?
Will you drink half your weight in water today? :)
