Chia Seed Pudding with Almonds and Savory Veggie Scramble

Instructions

1
Prepare Chia Pudding Base
raw

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.
2
Prep Veggie Scramble Ingredients
sautéed

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.
3
Cook Veggie Base for Scramble
sautéed

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.
4
Add Spinach and Eggs to Scramble
sautéed

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.
5
Finish Chia Pudding with Toppings
raw

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.
