Healthy and Fit Omelet

Healthy and Fit Omelet

Ingredients: 

1 whole egg

 3 egg whites

 1 sliced cooked and drained turkey bacon 

1 handful fresh spinach 

1 oz chopped tomato

 1 oz chopped onions Salt and pepper for seasoning

Directions: Heat skillet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Gently pour in onions and cook for 3-5 minutes. You want your onions to cook first because they take a bit longer to cook. Cook onions to your liking and prepare to add in other ingredients. Once onions are cooked, gently add in your whole egg and egg whites, spinach and tomatoes. While these ingredients start to cook, chop your cooked turkey bacon into chunks and add into the egg mixture. Cook eggs and fold over when cooked well enough.

Gently flip omelet over and cook on the opposite side for about 2 more minutes. Once eggs are cooked to your liking, remove from skillet and place on a plate. Let cool for a minute, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with fruit! Enjoy

The best part about more simplistic recipes like egg sandwiches and omelets is that you can take a simple recipe and incorporate many different items into each basic recipe. For example, if you’re a spice food lover, you can add fresh or jarred jalapenos to egg whites or an omelet while they’re cooking for an extra kick. If you aren’t a fan of spinach, feel free to add in any other type of vegetable that you would like. Chopped bell peppers, mushrooms and asparagus are a few great options that are not only great for you but they’re very filling as well. Try adding more vegetables to your eggs

rather than meat. If you’re not a fan of turkey bacon, you can also add in turkey sausage or Canadian bacon for extra protein. These ingredients can either be cooked in right away with the eggs or added in after. The choice is yours! The toppings are up to you as well. If you’d like to add a little something extra to your omelet, try low sodium salsa or hot sauce. If you’re not a fan of spice, a dollop of fat free, plain Greek yogurt is another great option instead of sour cream and if you want to add a little extra protein! Have fun with these basic recipes. Try different things to see what works best for you. Once you get the hang of cooking a healthy breakfast, you will start to cook more often rather than going to a restaurant each morning to start your day. Now that we’ve covered a few basic recipes to get you started, here are a few more recipes that allow you to step out of your comfort zone and into the health world!
