Growing up in the 70s, when it was my dad’s turn to cook a meal, he would usually make us an omelet or quesadilla. This was back in the day before dads really cooked OR people even knew what a quesadilla was. So, I thought he was pretty cool!  

It was only a matter of time before the eggs met up with the cheese and tortilla. Honestly, it’s a match made in heaven. As my taste buds grew up, my love for omelets and quesadillas didn’t wane. Total comfort food to me! I started adding a variety of veggies to jazz it up and make a little more balanced meal – that works for breakfast, lunch OR dinner, by the way!

Spinach and mushroom are a classic veggie combo and one of my favorites. Something about mushrooms just plays so well with eggs – it’s a plant-based umami experience. If preferred, the veggies can be swapped out for others that soften up nice and quick in a sauté pan. Think of onions, leeks, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, shaved Brussels sprouts or cabbage, chopped kale, and such.

I love mushrooms & spinach, but you can swap out for other veggies in this adaptable recipe!

The two eggs, an ounce of cheese and a nine-inch tortilla offer about 22 to 25g protein (even more if you can find a protein tortilla). But, if you want even a bigger protein bump, add a small handful of shredded chicken, beef or diced ham. This quesadilla hack is very adaptable to your custom desires.

This post is sponsored by NOW Foods, however all content, opinions, advice and enthusiasm remain my own. Thank you for supporting brands that support The Fit Fork.

Most of us don’t get enough dietary fiber from the daily foods we eat and following a low-carb diet makes the task even more challenging.  While experts recommend consuming approximately  21 to 25 grams (women) to 30 to 38 grams (men) of fiber a day from a variety of foods, the typical American averages just 15 grams — and “low carb-ers” even less! High Fiber Low Carb Salad with avocado, raspberries, blackberries, chia seeds, almonds and pistachios.

Eliminating whole grains, legumes, most fruits, many vegetables and other sources of carbohydrates can make meeting dietary fiber goals difficult. But, if you choose the right low-carb high-fiber foods, you can be well on your way to a daily fiber gold star – and get to eat a few unexpected things in the process (like this beautiful salad that I calculated to meet MY needs with about 3/4 the daily fiber requirement just for 12g net carb)! Read on to discover how easy it is to ramp up your roughage with these 10 High Fiber Foods for Low Carb Diets.
