# Ingredients:

→ The Protein & Cream Base

01 - 3 large eggs
02 - 2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
03 - 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

→ Savory Seasonings

04 - 1/4 tsp sea salt
05 - 1/8 tsp black pepper
06 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1/4 tsp onion powder
08 - Pinch of smoked paprika

→ Freshness & Finish

09 - 1/2 cup packed baby spinach
10 - 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
11 - 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped

→ Cooking Essentials

12 - 1 tsp olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt, and 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk until well combined and slightly frothy. This forms the creamy base for your "Creamy Scrambled Eggs: Protein Packed with Guilt Free Breakfast".
02 - Add 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and a pinch of smoked paprika to the egg mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all the savory seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
03 - Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the oil to shimmer slightly, ensuring the pan is evenly coated. This gentle heat is crucial for achieving the perfect, tender texture for your "Creamy Scrambled Eggs: Protein Packed with Guilt Free Breakfast".
04 - Pour the seasoned egg mixture into the heated skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30-60 seconds until the edges begin to set. Then, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
05 - Continue to gently fold the eggs, allowing them to cook slowly and evenly. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet and glossy, add 1/2 cup packed baby spinach. Fold the spinach into the eggs until it wilts, which should take about 1 minute.
06 - Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking and maintain creaminess. Stir in 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped, and 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped. Serve your "Creamy Scrambled Eggs: Protein Packed with Guilt Free Breakfast" warm for an instant, satisfying meal.

# Notes:

01 - For extra fluffy eggs, whisk the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes until slightly frothy before pouring into the pan.
02 - No fresh herbs? A pinch of dried dill and chives can be used, but fresh offers superior flavor. You can also swap spinach for kale or bell peppers.
03 - These creamy scrambled eggs are fantastic on their own, or paired with a slice of whole-wheat toast or a side of fresh berries for a complete meal.
04 - While best enjoyed fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
