Vegetable Quiche

Our nutrition concept is great for your wellbeing. But sometimes it does make you way too dependent on meat. Though our body needs protein, but heavy meat consumption can lead to its overdose which in turn can harm your body. So, sometimes it is essential to go meatless at times and opt for vegetarian dishes to ensure that a perfect balance is maintained in your body.

But is it really possible to chuck out the meat from your daily diet completely (even if it’s for a day), yet stay healthy at the same time? Though difficult, it’s not something completely impossible. A proper planning and adapting usual vegetarian dishes according to the guidelines will help you achieve this objective without disappointing your taste buds.

Ourvegetable quiche is a potential dish for your vegetarian venture. Quiche might appear to many as a strange choice for Paleo diet, given the presence of flour-based crust and cheese in it. But an almond meal crust and avoiding the cheese completely will surely clear the pent-up confusions and turn the quiche absolutely acceptable to even a hardcore paleo follower. Being a vegetarian quiche, it includes spinach, broccoli and green onion while it owes its creamy texture to the coconut milk in it. It might not be able to boast of its traditional fluffiness but it’s still delicious and super healthy.

• Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
