Nourishment Notes

Eggs

Eggs are an excellent source of lean protein needed for healthy cell growth. They also contain lutein that may promote eye health and choline, which may decrease chronic inflammation.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable high in insoluble fiber to help prevent constipation. It also helps promote eye health, lung health, liver function, supports bone health, increases healthy cell production and keeps the immune system working its best.

Potatoes

Potatoes often get a bad rap, but this vegetable provides a variety of health benefits. Potatoes may help lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of heart disease and promote healthy eyes, skin and bones.

Onion

Onions are a type of prebiotic. Prebiotics feed healthy gut bacteria to help promote a healthier digestive tract. Onions may also help reduce cholesterol levels, which can decrease the risk for heart disease.

Fatigue Buster

  • Canned or Frozen Vegetables

    Using canned and frozen vegetables helps to reduce some of the preparation time of this recipe. If opening cans is challenging, an electric can opener could be used.

  • Sit on Stool

    If feeling extremely fatigued, sitting on a stool or chair while cooking can help conserve some energy.

  • Save Leftovers

    This frittata is a great quick-cooking meal. Leftovers can be enjoyed for breakfast or lunch throughout the week.
