Healthy Benefits
Egg whites have fewer calories, fat and contain no cholesterol compared to the yolk. Egg whites are high in protein, contain potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc and iron. They’re a good source of riboflavin and selenium along with essential vitamins such as folate, B12 and niacin.

Spinach is a powerhouse of nutrition. It’s packed with iron, beta carotene and a good source of fiber. It contains vitamins A, C, and E and is a rich source of folic.

Shopping Tips
You can buy a container of  “All Whites” in the egg section of the supermarket. One large egg white is equal to ⅛ cup. Or, simply separate the eggs and toss the yolks.

Most supermarkets sell light feta cheese. You can substitute with reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, if desired.
