Looking for a fast, but healthy and low calorie snack or meal that is of course gluten free?
Think eggs and omelets!
Omelets are fast and simple to make, a great source of protien, and can be combined with any kind of vegetable.
This mushroom and cilantro omelet took me only 7 minutes to prep and make.
I was proud of myself that despite being in a hurry, I ate consciously. I keep my fridge stocked with vegetables and fruits which makes it easier to make a healthy choice, even when in a hurry.
I grabbed a little handful of the fragrant cilantro, and sliced a little plate of scallions, washed a few sliced mushrooms and made my omelet.
It was 4 points+ on Weight Watchers and delicious.
If I wanted a little more substance,( and more points) I could have added some creamy feta cheese on top of the mushrooms before cooking, or topped it with salsa ( which is 0 points) when it was done.
The herbs and feta are a mouthwatering combination and healthy too. It's so important to include fresh greens in your diet everyday. The chlorophyll can help cleanse toxins out of your system and the minerals help nourish all of your cells.
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup scallions , sliced
2 mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
Optional: 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Optional: top with salsa
Spray a non stick pan . Add eggs and top with remainder of ingredients. Turn over 1/2 omelet when done.

Yum:) I love an omelet for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI love omelets - they are so healthy and versatile! This sounds like the perfect combo of ingredients to me!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. My husband and I try to have an omelet every Saturday morning together and relax and enjoy the morning. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious breakfast! Would love you to share it at Breakfast Ideas Mondays - http://www.yummyinspirations.net/2012/04/breakfast-ideas-mondays-2.html
ReplyDeleteLove this post--love this idea. How often, when pressed for time, do I choose a handful of this and that as lunch? More often that I'll say. And hoe often is the "this and that" some kind of junk food? Same answer! But this in seven minutes--it takes me that long to root through the pantry for junk. Would much rather have this wonderful omelet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking with See Ya In the Gumbo!
