Foods Loaded with low-carb veggies and packed with omega-3s, you’re off to healthy beginnings with this savory salmon frittata. If you’re not a salmon lover, hang tight and read on.
Breakfast foods are often sweet, but sometimes it’s nice to change it up and begin your day with something savory. This delicious egg dish fits the bill!
Salmon frittata for breakfast?
Salmon for breakfast is not normally my first option, but it’s not at all fishy (ha). This recipe is delightfully savory. To keep it from being “fishy” be sure you don’t buy a low quality brand of salmon. Make sure you buy quality ingredients. My son, who hates salmon, didn’t even know he was eating it!
This is a family-friendly and brain-friendly dish:
- With omega-3 eggs and salmon in your first meal of the day, you will be aiding your body in healthy brain development and giving it the protein it needs to keep you strong.
- Broccoli will be giving your family calcium, folate, vitamin C, selenium vitamins A and E, and great fiber.
- Red peppers help you digest food better and can have anti-inflammatory properties.
- Onions are a powerhouse! They provide fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, calcium, folate, potassium and a little iron and zinc. They also contain chromium.
What a great start to your morning. All of these add up to a super nutritious powerhouse breakfast, and it’s easy to make with a short cooking time.
