Why You’ll Love These Mini Frattatas!
These mini frittatas aren’t just convenient; they’re packed with nutrients to fuel your body and mind. Eggs provide high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12 and choline for energy and brain health. Turkey bacon offers lean protein with less fat than traditional bacon, while Greek yogurt and cottage cheese contribute calcium, probiotics, and even more protein. The vibrant veggies—onion, red pepper, and mushrooms—bring a dose of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins A and C, supporting everything from your immune system to your skin. Finally, that scoop of unflavored protein powder ensures you’re starting your day with an energy boost that lasts.
Whip up a batch or two one day a week, and you’ll have a week’s worth of healthy, grab-and-go breakfasts ready to fuel your busy mornings. Trust me, these mini frittatas might just become one of your favorite morning rituals!
