Loaded Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Anyone else get tired of their classic egg and toast combo?
SAME.
I love this breakfast because it’s like bringing your favorite brunch home!
This meal uses only whole food ingredients but doesn’t lack in taste or texture. I used some breakfast staples - eggs and avocado - and paired them with quinoa, slow-digesting carb, and some easy sautéed vegetables to add additional flavor and color.
This meal truly has it all - fat, fiber, and protein - making it incredible for balancing blood sugar, but while providing your body with all of the nutrients it needs first thing in the morning.
You can easily enjoy this meal any time of day or swap out the egg for seeds or tofu to make this a perfect vegan meal.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup quinoa
1/2 avocado
1 organic, pasture-raised egg
2 mini peppers
1 large handful baby kale
1/4 small onion, chopped
1tsp avocado oil
salt and pepper to taste
How to:
Bring quinoa to a boil. While cooking, begin to saute onions and peppers in avocado oil. Add in kale once peppers are soft and stir. Once quinoa is ready, mix it into the sauteed vegetables, and set aside. Fry an egg in the same pan, slice up the avocado, plate, and ENJOY!
