This omelette has been designed to provide a substantial amount of nutrients while keeping your blood sugars stable. The extra fat from the cheese gives a decadent taste.
Eggs provide plenty of bioavailable protein and nutrients, while spinach fills in some harder-to-find vitamins and minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
Nutritional yeast adds extra B vitamins and a cheesy flavour.
Sugar-free sweet chilli sauce and some of your favourite salt (e.g. sea salt or Lite Salt) will boost the taste.
