Chia Seed Pudding with Almonds and Savory Veggie Scramble
15 min 4 servings
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.
Ingredients
- 180 g chia seeds
- 960 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 200 g spinach
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 1 small onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- 120 g chopped almonds
- 8 g cinnamon
- 1 tsp stevia
Instructions
- 1In 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.
- 2Wash 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.
- 3Add 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.
- 4Stir 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.
- 5Remove 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.
