<\/noscript> High-Protein Zucchini Omelet<\/h2>\nI\u2019ve been prioritizing protein and vegetables, making it a point to add one cup of veggies to every meal. It\u2019s a great way to get your daily fiber \u2013 I aim for at least 25 grams each day. Omelets are such an easy way to achieve this goal! This vegetarian omelet has a whole cup of zucchini and a mix of egg and egg whites for extra-lean protein. More of my favorite omelets are Goat Cheese Herb Omelet with Nova Lox, Broccoli and Cheese Omelet, and Open-Faced Omelet with Feta, Roasted Tomatoes, and Spinach.<\/p>\n
