Healthy, tasty, high protein omelet!

Protein allows the muscles to rebuild and repair. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, to become fitter, stronger, leaner, or a combination of these; it is essential that you refuel your body after exercise.
It is suggested that the ideal “window” of time in which to consume our post-workout meal (in order to aid recovery) is up to 90 minutes after training. The sooner, the better! This recipe is for the perfect post-workout meal, that takes only 5 minutes to prepare!

Ingredients:

1 x whole egg

4 x egg whites

1 x cup microwaveable “quick cup” brown rice (Sunrice)

1/2 x cup chopped veggies of your choice (i used mushrooms and onions, but capsicum, tomato, baby spinach and zucchini also work well).

Salt and pepper to taste.

Method:

– Cook the rice in the microwave as per the instructions (should take 40 seconds).

– Heat a small non-stick frypan over a moderate heat.

– Finely slice the veggies, lightly beat the egg and egg whites in a large bowl and add the sliced vegetables. Add the cooked rice to the mixture.

– Pour the mixture into the frypan. Once the mixture is solid, flip it over on cook through.

– Season with salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!
