Happy New Year, dear friends! What better way to start 2017 off right than with a delicious and healthy Vegan Frittata?

This baby is packed with greens, flavor, and tons of protein and fiber.

Speaking of protein and fiber, I am delighted to announce a huge improvement to our recipes! I’ll now be including nutritional information in our posts and going back through old recipes to add the valuable info.

It’s a huge myth (one that I exhaustingly debated over the holidays) that vegan food is lacking in protein. Well friends, I am here to dispel that myth right now starting with this savory and amazing vegan frittata.

I started with a ton of broccoli and leeks for flavor, texture, and nutrition. Of course I threw in some garlic (duh) and nutritional yeast cause you can’t have a vegan frittata without it!

The base is made from tofu, an excellent and very tasty plant-based source. Each serving of this vegan frittata boasts over 15 grams of protein, more than you’d get from a two egg omelette!

This vegan frittata also includes a bit of turmeric, both for color and for additional healthy stuffs. Turmeric is believed to be as effective at treating a variety of ailments, improving conditions from depression to inflammation. Pretty cool, right?

It also makes the frittata look more like it’s traditional egg filled counterpart. But why eat eggs when vegan frittatas have zero cholesterol and is just as satisfying?

The day I made this vegan frittata, my husband and I scarfed it down in less than ten minutes. It’s seriously SO GOOD. However, the recipe definitely serves 3 though I would serve it alongside a green salad or toast for a full and balanced meal.

This vegan frittata post for me, the first of 2017! Carrots and Flowers grew so much last year, we went from having 100 fans on social media to growing a community of nearly 70,000 souls!

We have a lot of exciting things on the horizon for 2017, including finally releasing our first cookbook! Most of all though, Pasha and I just want to give a heart felt thanks to each and every one of you. For trying our recipes and sharing them with your friends, for sending us heartfelt messages and comments, and for all the love and support.
