With this tip you can get even more out of frozen vegetables
You are free to choose the vegetables for the omelet. Of course, you can also chop fresh vegetables instead of frozen vegetables – it will just take a little longer. How about some fresh tomatoes, for example? They make the omelet look even tastier, just like a few fresh herbs as a garnish.
In general, I find the vegetable mixes from the freezer shelf very practical because you can… stock up at home and can prepare all sorts of delicious, quick and healthy recipes, such as stir-fries, casserole recipes or vegetable soup. You can then add one or two fresh ingredients to the eye and you have a completely successful dish.
Vivi’s top tip
Did you know why food fills you up in the first place? Play a major role, in addition to the hormonal control in the brain and the sensory control in the gastrointestinal tract, namely the proteins in food. They ensure that we become full faster and stay full. This is also colloquially called the “protein hunger”, and when this is satisfied, we are full. Say: The more protein in your food, the faster you will feel full. And now – bon appetit!
