Egg White Frittata
2 cups Egg White Liquid
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 green pepper
1/2 red pepper chopped
1 scallion chopped
1 bunch of fresh spinach chopped or 1 cup frozen chopped frozen spinach
In a deep dish pan, heat Olive Oil, add scallions and sautee until it starts to give out an aroma. Add peppers and spinach. Cook the veggies for 5 minutes or until they get cooked down to half their size.
Meanwhile mix in salt, about 1 teaspoon, to the egg white liquid.
Turn down the flame to low and spread the veggies evenly on the pan to make a layer at the base on the pan. Pour egg white liquid evenly on the veggies. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.
Cover and cook on low flame for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, check if the eggs have started to firm. After 10 minutes, turn off the stove and let it sit.
Makes slices and enjoy it with your favorite plain or toasted bread.

Natural Sweeteners
I have three Natural Sweeteners to recommend.
A low Glycemic Index natural sweetener that comes from the Agave plant and tastes fabulous. You can use agave to sweeten anything that you bake or you could use it in your beverages. The Glycemic Index of Agave Syrup is 15 as opposed to 64 that of white sugar. It only means that it does not spike your blood sugar the way white sugar does.
Made from brown rice :). It has a thicker consistency but works great to make sauce that calls for a sweetener.
Not my favorite because I don't like the after taste but so much better than Splenda. If I need to sweetened my tea or coffee I would go for Stevia Sachets that are handy to carry and sweeten so much better than any other sweetener in a packet. GI of Stevia is less than 1 :) :)
Don't give up your sweet tooth just choose a healthy sweetener.
