One of our favourite ways to amp up the protein in our breakfast is to use No Yolking™ 100% Egg White Protein Powder to replace a second egg in our omelettes. That little switch bumps up the protein to 16g a serving with only 10g of fat and 160 calories. That’s 11g less fat and 120 fewer calories than a omelette made with three whole eggs! We’ve also added in loads of spinach for a fibre- and vitamin-boost as well. You can even add in some nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavour we all love with extra B12. Note that this recipe is for one person, so double the ingredients if you wish to make it for more than just yourself.
