A light yet satisfying egg white breakfast bowl packed with fresh veggies and subtle seasoning, perfect for calorie deficit mornings and quick preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 3/4 cup)
  • 1 cup baby spinach (30 g), roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper (75 g), diced
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (5 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (75 g), halved (optional)
  • 1/4 medium avocado, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and roughly chop 1 cup baby spinach, dice 1/2 cup red bell pepper, slice 2 green onions, mince 1 garlic clove, and halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes if using. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, beat 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 3/4 cup) just until slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  3. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Warm until shimmering but not smoking, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until peppers soften and garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  5. Toss in the spinach and sliced green onions, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts and everything is evenly mixed.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg whites over the sautéed veggies. Let sit untouched for about 30 seconds to start setting, then gently stir with a silicone spatula.
  7. Continue to gently fold and stir the egg whites with the veggies for 2-3 minutes until soft, fluffy, and just set—not rubbery or dry.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste over the mixture. Stir to combine evenly.
  9. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Cook egg whites over medium-low heat to keep them tender and fluffy. Avoid high heat to prevent rubbery texture. Gently fold egg whites rather than stirring aggressively. Prep veggies while skillet heats to save time. For meal prep, reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to loosen texture.
