Top three health benefits of this recipe:
- FBOMB Olive Oil is one of the healthiest sources of fat you can eat, and can help keep you full and satiated for hours. Olive oil is a good source of monounsaturated fat called oleic acid, which is linked to reduced inflammation [*][*]. It’s also loaded with antioxidants, which may reduce your risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease [*].
- Onions and garlic both have high amounts of antioxidants, which help defend the body of free radicals. Onions contain cancer-fighting compounds, may improve digestive health and control blood sugar, and have been shown to enhance bone density [*]. Garlic is a good source of manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, and is linked to improved immune function and reduced blood pressure [*].
- Eggs are considered a superfood because they contain a bit of almost every nutrient you need. Eating eggs regularly can improve your “good” cholesterol levels, which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke [*].

- 1 bell pepper, finely diced
