Egg White Spinach Omelette with Oats for Protein-Rush

Omelette, the most nutritious breakfast ever!

Yes, everyone says this, why?

The taste, the ease, and, of course, the protein it offers, everything just sits perfectly right, especially if you are an athlete. 

It's the best meal for all active individuals. Egg whites are loaded with protein, ideal for muscle repair and growth while being low in fat and calories. While spinach adds vitamins and minerals, especially iron, which aids in oxygen transport to muscles and fights inflammation, oats on the other hand provide long-lasting energy with their complex carbohydrates and fibre, keeping you full and your digestion on track during summers.

This omelette not only tastes great but also fuels your body with essential nutrients, making it perfect for hot summer days when you need that extra energy boost.

Servings: 2

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 3/4 cup egg whites (about 4 egg whites)

- 1/2 cup powdered steel cut oats

- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers

- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes 

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Few drops of avocado oil for cooking

Method:

1. In a small bowl, combine egg whites and powdered steel cut oats. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to let the oats soften slightly.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of avocado oil.
3. Add diced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Add fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
5. If using diced tomatoes, add them to the skillet and cook for another minute until softened.
6. Pour the egg white and oat mixture over the ingredients in the skillet.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Allow the eggs to cook until the edges start to set, then gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.
9. Once the omelette is mostly set, fold it in half and cook for another minute or until fully cooked through.
10. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.

Notes:

Oats contain a moderate amount of protein, which is essential for muscle repair and recovery after intense exercise. Pairing oats with egg whites in the omelette provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates and protein, aiding in post-workout recovery and muscle growth.

YCL Tip:

Always use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats. Because steel cut oats undergo minimal processing, they retain more of the original texture and nutrients.
