Veggie Egg White Scramble

Egg whites sound really boring, don't they? They are so healthy though! In the past, I would make my egg whites with just spinach and salt and pepper, which is fine, but can get really boring. I decided to mix it up a bit using all the veggies in my refrigerator at the moment and come up with this great breakfast!

Ingredients

1 small carton of Egg whites
1 zucchini, choped into small pieces
2 green onions, diced
1/2 bell pepper (any color), diced
1/2 cup white mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup black beans
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
Olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper
Pinch of basil
Pinch of thyme

Instructions

Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the green onion, zucchini, and bell pepper. Cook for 2 minutes and add the mushrooms. Continue cooking until the zucchini and bell pepper are soft, about another 3 minutes. Add the egg whites just until they cover the veggies. Add salt, pepper, basil, and thyme. Cook for about 2 minutes, scrambling everything together. Add the black beans and tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes or until the egg whites are completely done. This should serve 3-4.
