Spinach and Mushroom Crustless Quiche and green smoothie

Today was my second day on a row at the gym!  I always wonder why I fall off the workout wagon because I love how awesome I feel immediately after!
I had planned to make this last night but Chris came home from work and wanted to go out for dinner.  I wasn't going to argue.
This is the week I work 1-9, so I decided to make it today and use for my lunches this week as it reheats well. 

I make quiche alot but I thought I would look online for some inspiration.  So many of the recipes online are sooo fat laden, and I'm not sure they'd taste much better than my lower fat version. Many of them used whole cream and 3 cups of cheese!! 

Ingredients

3 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup milk (reg or soy)
2 tbsp of onions, diced
1.5 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup broccoli 
4 cups spinach, chopped (or 1 pkg of frozen spinach thawed and drained
1/4- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or feta (opional)
salt and pepper to taste
green onions or chives (optional)

pre heat oven to 350

sautee onions and mushrooms in olive oil, approx 8 mins
add broccoli
add spinach until whilted  then remove from heat
beat eggs and milk together, add salt and pepper

grease a pie dish

add spinach, mushroom mixture
pour egg over
add cheese and green onion (if using)

bake in oven for 35 mins or until tooth pick comes out clean and egdes start to golden

serve with green salad

Everyone at works poke fun at me because I'm pretty much eating every hour while in the office!

heres an example of what my lunches for work look like:

2 pc of quiche
berries with banana
2 clemintines
1 apple
almonds
rice crackers
veggies and hummus
and some pretzels for a treat!

while my Quiche was in the oven I made my self a post workout smoothie/ my lunch
I've recently started adding spinach to my smoothies, it sounds disgusting but I promise you you can't taste it!  Its a great way to add veggies in to your diet, I might try steaming my spinach next time as raw spinach has an acid that inhibits the absorption of iron and calcium and cooking it break it down.  The spinach addition is inspired by the green monster movement started by a woman named Angela who write the blog Oh She Glows (which has fantastic vegan recipes) google oh she glows or the green monster movement!!

this smoothie has- ice cubes, soy milk, blueberries, spinach, ground flax seed and all natural peanut butter

belnd it all up-  looks a little weird and off because of the greenish tinge but its pretty darn yummy!!

the travel mug you see in the background is awesome!  It was a christmas present from my SIL and I love it! I'll tell you all about its awesomeness next blog, I'm off to work!
