Pulse the spinach in a high-powered blender a few times to reduce its volume. Add the steamed veggies along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of filtered water, and puree until smooth, adding more water as necessary.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, chia seeds, ¼ cup of the cheese, salt, the blend, and the broccoli. Pour ¼ cup of the egg mixture into each muffin cup and top with the remaining cheese.
