Photo: Courtesy of Cooking With Cakes.Eggs are one of my favorite fitness foods for summer, with protein and healthy fats to keep me fit and full all season long. This year, I'm all about the frittata. Frittatas are like an omelet without the leg-work, making them the perfect quick-fix meal any time of day. You can endlessly mix and match ingredients and flavors, but one of my favorites is this cheesy, veggie-packed ricotta & mozzarella frittata with asparagus. With only four ingredients, a blend of eggs & egg whites, and less than 30 minutes of prep, this light and lean dish is a winner. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, this is one easy, tasty recipe you don’t wanna miss.
