Spinach tomato and chickpea frittata
This is a great weekend brunch dish, when you have a bit more time to spare and want something more substantial but still healthy. Packed full of protein from the eggs, chickpeas and cheese, iron from the spinach and Vitamins A&C from the tomatoes, to name but a few it will set you up for the rest of the day and keep those hunger pangs at bay. Leave out the feta cheese if you prefer a dairy free option. Or add in some more vegetables to increase your daily intake.
