Ingredients
  

4 large eggs or egg whites (for lower cholesterol)

½ cup spinach, chopped

¼ cup bell peppers, diced (red or yellow for sweetness)

¼ cup onions, finely chopped

½ avocado, diced

½ cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat based on preference)

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking

Optional toppings: salsa or hot sauce, fresh herbs

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 medium banana, frozen for creaminess

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or strawberry protein powder

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fiber)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored, low-fat or full-fat)

½ cup granola (with high protein content)

½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

2 tablespoons almond butter (or nut butter of choice)

2 tablespoons flax seeds or hemp seeds (optional for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs (or egg whites) and add salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Mix well until combined.

    Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

      Add onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become soft and slightly caramelized.

        Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute until wilted.

          Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.

            Cook on medium-low heat until the edges start to set (about 3-4 minutes). Gently lift the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

              Once the bottom is cooked and the top is slightly runny, spoon the cottage cheese and avocado evenly over half of the omelette.

                Carefully fold the omelette in half and let cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through.

                  Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, optionally topped with salsa or hot sauce and fresh herbs.
