June 16, 2016

There is no wrong way to do this egg white power bowl recipe! It’s like a deconstructed omelet. Use the vegetables you most like or have on hand – spinach, mushrooms, etc. Anything will taste great. Egg whites are packed with protein which helps you sustain energy and mood for the rest of the day. Searing zucchini and peppers bring out their flavor, basil adds a burst of deliciousness and avocado gives a mellow creaminess.

Egg White Power Bowl Recipe

Makes 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes; Cook time: 10 minutes; Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, whites only (if you are not a fan of egg whites, use two whole eggs and two egg whites)
  • 1 cup sliced sweet mini peppers (mixture of red, orange, and yellow)
  • 1/2 cup sliced zucchini rounds
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed sprouts
  • 1/4 of an avocado, scooped or sliced
  • 2 yellow cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 5 basil leaves
  • sea salt
  • optional: 2 slices watermelon radish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl or mug, beat egg whites with 1 teaspoon water with a fork. Pour egg whites in a skillet on medium-low heat sprayed with cooking spray. Scramble and fold over until fluffy and fully cooked.
  2. Put finished egg whites to the side of a breakfast bowl, then respray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray and saute the sliced peppers over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, until they are seared. Put the peppers to the side of the bowl, besides the eggs. Then sauté zucchini rounds in the same way, until they are lightly seared. Place seared zucchini next to the peppers.
  3. Arrange around the bowl the rest of the ingredients: sprouts, yellow tomatoes, avocado. Place the basil leaves in the center and sprinkle sea salt or your favorite seasoning over the bowl. Enjoy!
