Egg White Omelet with Baby Spinach and Chia Seeds
🥚 A protein-rich and fluffy omelet ideal for athletes. Low in fats and enriched with the Omega-3 from chia seeds.
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 Egg whites
- 1.8 oz Baby spinach
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
🥚 The Ultimate Fit Omelet
This recipe is a pillar in sports nutrition. By using primarily egg whites, we obtain the highest quality protein with almost no fat. The addition of chia seeds not only increases nutritional value with Omega-3 and fiber, but also helps give the omelet a juicier and more satiating texture.
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Chia Hydration: Mix 1 tbsp (10g) of chia seeds with 20ml of water and let rest 5 minutes until a gel forms. This will make the omelet much fluffier.
- Beating: In a bowl, beat 4 egg whites (you can use bottled or fresh) with a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Add the chia gel and mix well.
- Vegetable Preparation: Take 1.8 oz (50g) of fresh baby spinach. You can chop it or add it whole if very small.
- Low-Heat Cooking: Heat a non-stick skillet with a drop of EVOO. Pour the mixture and add the spinach on top. Cook over medium-low heat and cover the skillet so steam sets the top.
- The Fold: When the edges are golden, fold the omelet in half like you would an omelette. Cook 1 minute more and serve.
Pair it with a slice of whole-grain rye bread for a complete breakfast or dinner.
