Sardine and spinach omelette

Nutrient density and healthy doesn’t have to be complex.   This simple omelette recipe provides a whack of nutrients from the sardines and spinach with some extra energy from the whole eggs and cheese.

The raw spinach may look like a lot initially, but it actually wilts down to not much.  

The warning here is that this ends up being a large volume of food, so you may want to start with the small recipe first.  

This recipe uses whole eggs.  If you really wanted to ramp up the satiety game you could replace the calories from one of the eggs with egg whites.
