- 0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs and add 2 additional egg whites. Whisk together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 2
Add 0.25 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 4
While the oil is heating, slice 1 cup of baby spinach and halve 0.5 cup of cherry tomatoes. Chop 2 stalks of green onions.
Step 5
Add the green onions and cherry tomatoes to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Step 6
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it is wilted.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Reduce heat to low and stir gently with a spatula.
Step 8
Season with 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Step 9
Continue to stir the eggs slowly until they are just set but still creamy, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 10
Remove from heat promptly to prevent overcooking. Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onion slices if desired.
