Savory Breakfast Bowls
When Saturday rolls around, we usually have a bit of this and a bit of that left in the refrigerator — a few green onions, a handful of kale, a serving of roasted veggies. Breakfast bowls are the perfect way to use the last of the week’s produce. They’re exactly what you need to get your day started.
I particularly love this recipe for its perfect balance. Starting with a base of healthy quinoa carbohydrates that give you a burst of energy, followed by a punch of protein and iron from kale and eggs, and finishing with heart-healthy avocado fats and fiber-packed sweet mango, this is a delicious breakfast to fuel your day.
We believe in breakfast as the biggest meal of your day. Here are some of my other favorite hearty breakfasts:
Building The Perfect Breakfast Bowls
These bowls combine simple, wholesome ingredients into an easy nutritious meal. They’re completely customizable depending on what you like but there’s a formula that always works.
Carbohydrate Base – quinoa, barley, farro or potatoes
Protein Topping – Eggs are the cornerstone of a delicious breakfast bowl, but you could also use tempeh, tofu or chicken sausage.
Vegetables – Blistered tomatoes, wilted greens, grilled corn, roasted bell peppers, the options are endless.
Fruit – I love the addition of a tangy, fresh, bright fruit. My favorites are antioxidant rich options like mangoes, pomegranate seeds, blueberries, and goji berries.
