A nourishing breakfast pairing of creamy chia seed pudding topped with crunchy almonds and a warm, protein-packed savory veggie scramble with eggs and leafy greens.
This breakfast duo combines the cool, creamy texture of chia seed pudding with the warm, savory flavors of a veggie scramble. The pudding offers fiber and healthy fats from chia seeds and almonds, while the scramble provides a protein boost from eggs and nutrient-dense greens. Together, they create a balanced, low-glycemic meal to start your day with sustained energy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds with almond milk, stirring thoroughly to prevent clumping. 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. 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.
Wash and roughly chop the spinach, dice the bell peppers, and finely chop the onion. Set aside in separate bowls to streamline cooking. 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.
Add olive oil to the preheated skillet at 160°C. 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.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes at 160°C until just wilted and bright green. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the veggies. 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.
Remove the chia pudding from the refrigerator. Stir each portion to ensure a consistent texture, then top with chopped almonds for crunch. 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.
