    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.

    Enjoy!

      This was absolutely delicious. I used real mushrooms and Unexpected Cheddar from Trader Joes. This will be one of my favorites.

      I can’t tell you how important my runs are to my well-being. Keep it up and you’ll get your endurance back pretty quickly. I can totally relate though. If I miss a week it’s like I’ve lost everything but then it’s back after a couple of workouts. Lovin’ this frittata. It’s surprising how tasty you can make egg whites with a few simple additions. Pretty and healthy!
