 By Elena Voropay If the original recipe of Quiche is not one of your healthy options, consider this one. We've created a healthy mouth-watering version that tastes delicious, easy to make, high in protein and fiber, and you don't even have to count the calories! Eggs are the best protein source available providing 99 percent absorption for your hungry tissues. They are usually referred to as a 'gold standard' of complete protein providing all essential amino acids. Eggs are also a good source of lecithin, a phosphorus lipid that is required by every single cell in your body to handle the flow of nutrients.
The protective sheaths around your brain are also made of phosphorus lipids and muscle and nerve cells are also. Brown rice is one of the best grains with low GI score, full of fiber, bran, vitamins and minerals. Dairy provides amino acid tryptophan for your nervous system and feel-good hormone serotonin, as well as protein and calcium. Chicken is packed with B-vitamins and complete amino acids, and mushrooms will add to the micro-nutrient value of the dish. So, enjoy the goodness.
