High-Protein Spinach Frittata

Looking for a way to get more protein and greens in your diet? This high-protein Spinach Frittata covers all of those bases while tasting fluffy and delicious. Each slice has a whopping 16 grams of protein and over one cup of spinach making it the perfect snack or addition to any meal. Your classic frittata has a base of eggs and vegetables, but this frittata takes it a step further with the addition of cottage cheese and parmesan for an added dimension of flavor. Cottage cheese is one of our favorite ways to sneak more protein in since it tends to be lower in calories compared to most cheese and much higher in protein.
