Veggie Egg White Scramble

If you’re looking for a high protein, low fat and low cal brunch, check out my recipe for a Veggie Egg White Scramble.

Egg whites are great substitutes for whole eggs, when you want to make omelets, scrambled eggs, etc. The egg whites from one egg provide 4 grams of protein, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of cholesterol and only 17 calories, making them a very nutritious and diet-friendly choice! You can separate the egg whites from a whole egg, but it is a lot easier to buy a carton of egg whites, such as Naturegg’s Simply Egg Whites.

What you’ll need:

- One cup of egg whites

- Zero cal cooking spray (optional)

- Chopped vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms

- Cubed tofu or low fat turkey

- Salsa

- Paprika (optional)

- Cayenne Pepper (optional)

How to make:

- Using a non-stick frying pan, lightly coat the pan in zero calorie cooking spray, and turn burner on to about medium heat

- Letting the pan heat up, (about 5 minutes) pour in egg whites, and a little bit of water

- Stir the egg whites and as the get fluffy, add in diced vegetables, paprika, tofu or chopped turkey, and a touch of cayenne pepper – which revs the metabolism!

- Once the scramble is fully cooked, stir in some salsa for added flavor and nutrition

Simple, isn’t it? … Enjoy!
