The “Sunshine Scramble” Recipe (Under 250 Calories!)
This isn’t just any egg bowl, we’re making a “Sunshine Scramble” version! It’s got a bright, fresh taste that will wake you right up.
| Ingredients | Amount |
|---|---|
| Eggs | 2 large (100g) |
| Baby Spinach | 1 cup (30g) |
| Whole Wheat Toast (small slice) | 1 slice (25g) |
| Cherry Tomatoes (halved) | ½ cup (75g) |
| Feta Cheese (crumbled, reduced fat) | 1 tablespoon (10g) |
| Everything Bagel Seasoning | ½ teaspoon (1g) |
| Olive Oil Spray | 2 sprays (2g) |
| Salt & Pepper | To taste |
Let’s Get Bowl-ing! (Instructions)
- Toast Time: Toast the whole wheat bread until it’s golden brown and crunchy. Then, break it into smaller pieces and put them in the bottom of your bowl. This is your crunchy base!
- Veggie Prep: Roughly chop the spinach if the leaves are big. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Egg Scramble Magic: Spray a non-stick pan with olive oil spray and heat it over medium heat. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Spinach Power: Add the spinach to the pan and cook for about a minute until it just starts to wilt (get a little softer).
- Egg-cellent Scramble: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the spinach. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are set but still a little soft and fluffy. Don’t overcook them!
- Bowl Assembly: Spoon the scrambled eggs and spinach over the toasted bread pieces in your bowl.
- Tomato Topping: Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the eggs.
- Feta Finish: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and everything bagel seasoning on top.
- Enjoy the Sunshine! Grab a spoon and dig into your bright and tasty breakfast bowl!

Tips for Bowl Bosses!
- Toast Crunch Control: If you want extra crunch, toast the bread a little darker. For softer bread, toast it lightly.
- Spinach Secrets: Don’t overcook the spinach! It should just wilt. Overcooked spinach can get mushy.
- Egg Fluff Factor: Don’t stir the eggs too much while they cook for fluffier scrambled eggs. Let them set a bit in the pan before gently pushing them around.
- Seasoning Superstar: Everything bagel seasoning is awesome, but you can use other seasonings too, like Italian herbs or just extra pepper.
Mix It Up! (Ingredient Swaps)
- Egg-cellent Alternatives: Use egg whites for an even lower calorie and lower fat option. You could also use tofu scramble for a vegetarian/vegan version (but calories might change).
- Veggie Variety: Try adding other veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions to the scramble. Sauté them before adding the spinach.
- Cheese Changes: Use parmesan cheese, goat cheese, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor that’s vegan) instead of feta.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a dash of hot sauce at the end.
- Herb Heaven: Fresh herbs like chopped chives, parsley, or dill would be delicious sprinkled on top.
Bowl Buddies! (What to Eat It With)
This breakfast bowl is great on its own, but you can pair it with:
- A Side of Fruit: Berries, melon, or a sliced apple would add some sweetness and extra vitamins.
- A Glass of Orange Juice: To boost the sunshine vibes and get some Vitamin C.
- A Mug of Tea: A warm cup of tea is always a cozy breakfast buddy.
