Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the coconut milk, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until it wilts slightly. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a small plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Scatter the cooked veggies evenly over one half of the omelet. Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the omelet is fully set and cooked through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Paleo Three-Egg Omelet!
