Start by preparing your ingredients. Wash the baby spinach thoroughly and pat dry. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces, about 1/4-inch squares.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are well beaten and the milk is fully incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow it to warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables. Let it sit untouched for about 30 seconds to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently pull the eggs across the pan, continuing to cook and fold the eggs every few seconds, until they’re softly set and slightly runny in places. Ensure that the eggs are cooked through but still creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs once removed from the stove, so avoid overcooking.
Transfer the scrambled eggs with spinach and bell peppers onto plates. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
