Instructions
Whisk the eggs, egg whites, and protein powder in a mixing bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes or until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach, stir gently, and scramble until the eggs are fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes.
