In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until frothy but not stiff.
Pour the whites into the warm pan. Tilt the pan to spread evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges set.
Scatter the sautéed spinach over one half of the eggs. Fold the other half over. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
