Directions:
Prepare a bowl with half ice and half water. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus and spinach and cook about 2 minutes. Remove vegetables and plunge into bowl of ice water. In a small mixing bowl, mix egg whites, basil, tomatoes and cayenne pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms and sauté until onions are slightly translucent (about 3 to 5 minutes). Whisk in egg white mixture and continue to cook, mixing well to scramble eggs, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Healthy Tip: Egg whites are an inexpensive source for complete protein and are higher in protein and lower in calories compared to a whole egg.
