Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the almond milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air and ensure fluffiness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with olive oil spray to coat the surface.
Add the diced bell pepper and sliced green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until they soften slightly.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables and halved cherry tomatoes over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the empty half of the omelet over the filling. Press down lightly to seal and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
