Instructions
1
Prepare Chia Pudding Base
⏱ Evening Before (0:00)Chia Seed Pudding with Almonds
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds with almond milk, stirring thoroughly to prevent clumping.
2.Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then stir again to ensure even distribution before transferring to individual jars or a covered container.
3.Refrigerate overnight to allow the seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
💡 Stirring twice before refrigerating prevents the chia seeds from settling at the bottom and ensures a smooth texture.

Prep Veggie Scramble Ingredients
⏱ Morning (0:00)Savory Veggie Scramble
1.Wash and roughly chop the spinach, dice the bell peppers, and finely chop the onion.
2.Set aside in separate bowls to streamline cooking.
3.Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to 160°C for sautéing.
💡 Prepping veggies in advance saves time during cooking and ensures even cooking.

Cook Veggie Base for Scramble
⏱ Morning (0:05)Savory Veggie Scramble
1.Add olive oil to the preheated skillet at 160°C.
2.Sauté the chopped onion and diced bell peppers for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the peppers soften slightly with a vibrant color.
💡 Use a wooden spoon to stir the veggies to avoid scratching the skillet surface.

Add Spinach and Eggs to Scramble
⏱ Morning (0:12)Savory Veggie Scramble
1.Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes at 160°C until just wilted and bright green.
2.Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the veggies.
3.Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled and no longer runny.
💡 Avoid overcooking the eggs; remove from heat just before they’re fully set as they’ll continue to cook from residual heat.
5
Finish Chia Pudding with Toppings
⏱ Morning (0:12)Chia Seed Pudding with Almonds
1.Remove the chia pudding from the refrigerator.
2.Stir each portion to ensure a consistent texture, then top with chopped almonds for crunch.
3.Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over each serving and add a small amount of stevia if desired for a touch of sweetness.
💡 Add toppings just before serving to maintain the almonds’ crunch and prevent them from softening.
🍽️ Serve the chia seed pudding in small bowls or jars, topped with chopped almonds and a dusting of cinnamon, alongside a warm plate of savory veggie scramble garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper.
