Powering Up breakfast: Eat Your Veggies

Vegetable Frittata with veggie bacon


In my fantasy world, I get up and make a nutritious, delicious breakfast..

Scratch that..in y fantasy, my cook prepares a nutritious, delicious breakfast..

Breakfast in a jiffy
In reality, I often eat cold cereal. But now, Garden Lites has a frozen line of veggie filled egg dishes that you pop in the microwave and don't find yourself scrabbling around for donuts or chocolate croissants at 10am.

Garden Lites Frittatas

Garden Lites "Veggie Made Great" Frittatas remind me of the New York Times frittata recipe that are more vegetable than egg. The spinach egg white version  has spinach, tomatoes, onions and red peppers, along with egg whites and mozzarella.


Keep on hand in the freezer
Each frittata has 70 calories, five grams of protein, and no added sugar.

I loved the veggie bacon & potato frittata. The veggie bacon is made from pinto beans. These are 80 calories. And five grams of protein. the main ingredient is cauliflower.

Both frittatas tasted even better with a hit of Sriracha.

Garden Lites products are vegetarian, kosher, gluten free and non- GMO. They are also made in a nut free facility.

If you are running, or running off to work, these frittatas start the day right.

Note: I got samples of the Garden Lites Frittatas. I was not otherwise compensated.
