- Organic foods, especially greens, are best for nutritional content and to minimize adding more chemicals to your body, which disrupt your hormones and body function. If organic isn’t an option, wash vegetables really well.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until medium-crispy. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate, leaving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes and then add in the kale, zucchini noodles and garlic powder. Cook until the kale wilts mostly.
- Pour the eggs over the noodles, distributing evenly. Top with a salt and generous amount of pepper and let cook for 2 minutes, letting the eggs cook to set on the bottom.
- Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until you can stick a knife through the center of the frittata and it comes out clean.
Original recipe calls for pesto sauce on top, which I think it’d be wonderful but I didn’t make it since I was cooking another 4-5 other recipes the same night. This girl here likes to keep things simple and minimize time in the kitchen without compromising tasty. It’s delish as is, warm and cold.  Try it!
Personally, when it comes to animal protein, I am very selective and it’s part of the food budget I spend the most. When consuming conventional protein sources from animals, it can be packed with hormones, inflammatory fats, hormone disrupters, etc. Ultimately, it can do more harm than good.
Considering that May is Blood Pressure month, we must make smart choices. Quality is essential for heart health. Over the past four years, I have reduced consumption of animal protein significantly. Technically, we can get 100% of protein from plant base, even if you rarely eat legumes such as beans and lentils. Protein is found in many vegetables including broccoli, peas, spinach, kale, and the list goes one. If you pack your smoothie with vegetables, it won’t be hard to get 15 grams of protein without adding powders. Then, you can complement your smoothie with vegetable protein such as pea protein and even eat one or two hard boil eggs separately.
