Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, and skim milk until fully combined. Add the salt and black pepper, and mix well. Set aside.
Heat a large, oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the bottom with an olive oil spray.
Add the minced garlic and diced zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini begins to soften.
Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until it is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet and sprinkle the green onions and cherry tomatoes on top.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet and let it cook on the stove for 3-4 minutes, without stirring, until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
