Skinny Vegetable Frittata

Guess what?  You DON’T have to sacrifice taste when eating healthy.  I’m here to tell you this EASY Skinny Vegetable Frittata made with egg whites is delicious AND satisfying!

I normally don’t cook with egg whites a lot, but a lot of you said you were looking for healthy, easy recipes.  Well here you go and I’m in love with this recipe, so thanks.

The vegetables I used in this frittata were peppers and onions.  I also added mushrooms because I absolutely LOVE them and add them to just about anything I can.

You can use diced tomatoes, spinach, asparagus… the opportunities are endless in what you can throw together to make this beast of a healthy breakfast happen.  And with minimal cook time… well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

You can also make this frittata even “skinnier” by using low-fat cheese, too.  It is perfect for a weekend brunch… especially when there’s a mimosa involved.
