Lunch: Eggy Veggie Bake

Recipe by VenturaMama77 Yummy dish that I created one night. You could add just about anything to it. Could be breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Warm, fresh, and dee-lish! I like mine with a dollop of sour cream and some slices of avocado.

This recipe includes superfoods such as:

Lemon, Spinach

Health benefits of Eggy Veggie Bake

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.
