QUICK + EASY QUICHE
What's great about it
A quick and easy mid-week meal that’s packed with 25g of protein per serve. This delicious recipe is from my cookbook, SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPES.
Organic eggs and tofu are packed full of proteins, essential vitamins like B12 and calcium for bone health. Spinach adds iron, fibre and antioxidants, while leeks are a wonderful prebiotic for gut health and are rich in antioxidants to support immune health and total wellbeing.
Enjoy this quiche for lunch or dinner, or prepare ahead of time to take as your lunches during the work week.

I also love adding roasted sweet potato chunks and serving with basil, lemon and leafy greens.
