This veggie frittata is the perfect recipe to make when you’re short on time.
Our Functional Medicine provider, Dr. Kristen Halland, DC, shares the recipe that was inspired by her 10-month-old’s love for finger foods. With protein, fiber, and powerful plant-based nutrients, it’s a great dish for all ages.
Some of Dr. Halland’s top tips while making this dish include:
-Always opt for pasture-raised eggs
-Stay away from pans that are “nonstick Teflon”
-Cheese is best if grass-fed or goat based
-Pink and sea salt are very healthy for our adrenal glands
