For a family that’s on the go all the time, healthy recipes that can be made ahead of time are absolutely necessary.  Quiches can be prepped and made in advance, then reheated for a meal.  Feel free to change up the vegetables in this recipe as the seasons change.

**If you can tolerate dairy, feel free to use regular milk instead of almond milk.  You can also add ½ cup shredded cheese.  You would add this over top of the vegetables before you pour in the egg mixture.
