Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Feta Frittata
Why Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Feta Frittata Is the Perfect Post-Workout Meal
This recipe is loaded with protein – essential for repairing muscle tissue after exercise – as well as iron. Iron is important for helping your blood carry oxygen from your lungs to your muscles. Spinach provides vitamin C, which helps your body absorb more iron from plant foods. The sweet potato adds carbohydrate to restock glycogen stores in your muscles, as well as beta-carotene.
