Whether feeding a crowd or prepping for the week ahead, large and healthy breakfast options are hard to come by. Sure, you could make a batch of muffins or a plate full of pancakes, but those tend to lack protein and necessary nutrients from vegetables. Enter: a veggie-packed quiche that's easy to make and has a secret immune-supporting ingredient. 

This quiche recipe, created by registered dietitian Maggie Michalczyk, R.D., contains protein from eggs and a double dose of vegetables from chopped, fresh varieties and mbg organic veggies+ greens powder. 

"Organic veggies+ is a convenient way to sneak in extra veggies, plus antioxidants," registered dietitian Jess Cording, M.S., R.D., CDN, adds.*

Immunity benefits of this veggie quiche.* 

While most people would serve fruit on the side of their quiche, this one sneaks them into it, without compromising the savory flavor of the egg bake.

The veggies+ powder contains an antioxidant fruit blend, with a range of berries, acerola cherries, black currant, and acai. These vitamin-C-rich fruits help support immune functioning, which is critical during COVID-19 and the transition into fall (aka cold and flu season).* 

The immune-enhancing benefits don't stop there, though. The blend also contains cruciferous vegetables, like kale, green cabbage, and broccoli. These green leafy vegetables are loaded with fiber to support gut health, which in turn supports immunity.*

The blend also contains ginger and turmeric, which have been shown to help maintain immunity against infections1 and viruses, due to their anti-inflammatory properties.*
