Health benefits of Greek Breakfast Scramble

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

One 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained and cut into small cubes
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped (about 5 packed cups)
1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the tofu, turmeric, ½ tsp pepper and ¼ tsp salt.
Toss to combine.
Heat oil in a large pan using medium-high heat.
Add the white scallions and cook until soft, around 1 minute. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
The tofu should start to lightly brown and should resemble the texture of scrambled eggs.
Add the spinach, lemon juice, and ½ tsp salt.
Stir until the spinach is wilted.
Add the tomatoes and scallion greens and stir for about 1 minute, until the tomatoes have just started to soften.
Remove from heat.
Add the basil and stir to combine.
