Healthy grab-and-go foods are essential to our busy lives. I was recently speaking with a group of women who were frustrated that they could not find healthy after-school snacks for their ravenous kids. I also work with many clients who have dietary restrictions, busy schedules, or both. They require energy-supporting, plant-based foods that are tasty.
This recipe can be modified to meet a variety of health needs, and is also delicious. It can work with Paleo, Whole30, or a myriad of immune-calming eating plans. What makes this recipe really valuable is that it is so easy and can be so many different things — breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner. I have even made a sweet version, akin to a mini soufflé, that can be used to satisfy cravings.
I would encourage you to buy certified humane and organic eggs. Some of he best places to buy eggs are a Community Supported Agriculture (“CSA”) farm or your local farmers market. I like to ask the vendors at the farmers market how the hens are raised and what they are fed. Vital Farms is a good brand that you can find in some healthy markets and grocery stores.
The vegetables I have used in my master recipe can be modified to meet your dietary needs and tastes. Adding sautéed mushrooms can be a good replacement for chicken sausage. Sautéed spinach or kale can be substituted for the broccoli. You can add cheese if you need to make the frittatas more substantial; and add any number of fresh herbs to make the flavor pop. Customize this recipe, making it your own, and whip up a batch on Sunday for the week.

Hi, Kristen – This looks great, especially since you suggest various adaptations so that it fits different needs. My husband has developed an intolerance to wheat and I am pescatarian. Yet we can just tweak this recipe and have the breakfast and snack foods that we (mostly hubby) need! Thanks, Angie – http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com
