shared: "Tried this for dinner last night and it was fantastic! Added yellow onion and topped with lean ground beef mixed with pesto for extra protein." INGREDIENTS: * One half of

a chopped yellow pepper * One large handful of chopped spinach * Handful of low-fat cheese * Three eggs * Handful of sliced cherry tomatoes * Five potatoes - could be swapped for sweet

potato instead * Half a cup of milk METHOD: * Start by preheating your oven to 200C. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until they are tender. * While that’s happening, prepare your

nine-inch baking dish. Once the potatoes are soft, place them in the dish, mash them down, and then cover them. * Drizzle some oil over the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

* Next, add the spinach, bell pepper, and tomatoes. * Whisk the eggs and milk together in a separate bowl, then pour this mixture over the veggies. * Finally, sprinkle cheese on top and

bake for 25 to 30 minutes. WHY IS THE RECIPE SO GOOD FOR YOU? The recipe includes various superfoods, such as spinach, eggs, peppers, and tomatoes. Each contains several vitamins, minerals,

and antioxidants, such as lutein, calcium, iron, vitamin C, and more. For instance, yellow peppers may help with: * Eye health because they contain vitamin A * Immune function thanks to

being rich in vitamin C * Regular bowel movements and low cholesterol levels due to fibre * Signs of ageing and chronic diseases because of antioxidants Yellow bell peppers can be enjoyed in

various ways, whether raw in salads, roasted, grilled, or sautéed in a stir-fry. However, it's worth noting that some individuals might want to restrict their consumption to just one

per day, as they are high in fibre and could lead to gas and bloating. Meanwhile, spinach is a good source of fibre, which can help with digestion and weight management. It also contains

phytoecdysteroids, which may help keep blood sugar levels stable. It contains chlorophyll, too, which may help remove bacteria from the colon and heal the gastrointestinal tract. Plus,

tomatoes benefit your health by containing various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These essential nutrients can help lower the risk of various diseases and promote the well-being of

your heart, eyes, and brain. As for eggs, they are a nutritious food that contains protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. They can help with brain health, eye health, and muscle

building. Eggs are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Protein helps build and maintain muscle, fight infections, and grow strong hair and nails. Eggs contain

choline, which helps with muscle contraction, pain responses, and memory. Choline is also important for brain and spinal cord development during pregnancy. Eggs contain lutein and

zeaxanthin, which help protect your eyes from sun damage. These antioxidants have also been linked to reducing the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. White potatoes are

high in potassium, which is crucial in maintaining healthy blood pressure and proper muscle function. They are also rich in vitamin C, dietary fibre, and resistant starch. Potatoes can be a

low-calorie option when cooked without extra oils or butter. To get the most nutrition, it's best to prepare them with little added fat and salt, and keeping the skin on is a great

idea. Although they are healthy, potatoes have a high carbohydrate content, so it's important to watch portion sizes, especially for those monitoring their carb consumption. You might

also want to try various types of potatoes, such as red or purple ones, as they could offer extra antioxidants.
