🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Eggs provide high-quality protein, vitamin B12, and choline, which support a breastfeeding mother's energy and tissue repair. Spinach offers plant-based iron, folate, and vitamin C, and the vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. White cheese adds calcium and extra protein, making the meal more filling. Ready in just a few minutes, this omelet is a warm, nourishing option for busy days.
