PROS

CONS

This recipe is quite high in calories as it contains bacon and sugar.

It is not suitable for people who are following a low-fat or low-sugar diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Spinach is an incredibly nutritious vegetable that contains a range of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folate, Iron and Vitamin K.
On the other hand, bacon is loaded with protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, it is also high in salt and is therefore not very healthy in large quantities. You can substitute bacon with boiled chicken or turkey breast for a healthier option.
