Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 handful fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 slice whole grain bread
  • 1/4 avocado sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning optional

Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick skillet
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Toaster
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced bell pepper and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted.
  4. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble gently with a spatula. Cook for 3–4 minutes until just set. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. While eggs cook, toast the whole grain bread slice.
  6. Top the toast with sliced avocado. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
  7. Plate the veggie scramble alongside the avocado toast. Serve immediately.
    8. Blood Sugar Tip: Eat the eggs and avocado first, then the toast. Eating protein and fat before carbohydrates can help blunt post-meal glucose spikes.

Notes

<strong>Blood Sugar Tip:</strong> Eat the eggs and avocado first, then the toast. Eating protein and fat before carbohydrates can help blunt post-meal glucose spikes.
<strong>Storage:</strong> Best eaten fresh. If meal prepping, store scrambled eggs separately from toast and avocado. Reheat eggs gently in a skillet over low heat.
