A baby spinach omelet is another dish that can give people a protein hit in the morning. The inclusion of spinach in this gluten-free breakfast option means that it is also rich in iron.
Iron is crucial for a person’s health. Without iron, the body cannot make red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body.
Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from food. Try squeezing a lemon over a spinach omelet in the morning or drinking a glass of fresh orange juice with an iron-rich breakfast.
