Potato, pea & spinach frittata

This dish provides high levels of protein (from the eggs) - useful for repairing muscle tissue after intense exercise - as well as plenty of iron and vitamin C (from the spinach). The potato adds carbohydrate, needed for building glycogen stores in the muscles, and the peas add extra fibre and vitamin C.
