A quick, easy, and nutritious egg white scramble packed with fresh veggies and high protein, perfect for weight loss and a satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 6 fl oz or 180 ml)
  • 1 cup fresh chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1/3 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: wash and dice bell peppers, halve cherry tomatoes, chop spinach, finely dice red onion and garlic (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Whisk the egg whites in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil; warm for about 1 minute until shimmering.
  4. Add diced red onion and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  5. Add bell peppers and cherry tomatoes; cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened but still crunchy.
  6. Add chopped spinach; stir for 1-2 minutes until wilted and bright green.
  7. Pour whisked egg whites evenly over the sautéed veggies; let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir and fold every 15 seconds until eggs are set but moist (3-4 minutes).
  8. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; fold gently.
  9. Turn off heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the scramble; garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Whisk egg whites well for fluffier texture. Use medium heat to avoid rubbery eggs. Prep veggies the night before to save time. Avoid overcooking eggs to keep them moist. Fresh herbs can be swapped to change flavor profile. For vegan adaptation, replace egg whites with crumbled tofu or chickpea flour batter.
