- 0.25 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Dice the bell pepper and slice the green onions thinly.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites with salt and black pepper until they are slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
Pour the egg whites over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute them evenly.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese side.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
