I love throwing a bunch of things into a bowl, topping them with a fried egg and calling it breakfast. Recently- I was in Phoenix for a much overdue vacation, and while I was there I had some damn tasty Mexican food. So, when I got back and did my weekly grocery shop, I was inspired to plan a week’s worth of Mexican inspired brekkie.
The best part about breakfast bowls is that they’re extremely easy to put together. Really- anything can go into a breakfast bowl, but for a little guidance, I like to focus on protein, fat, and carbs to create a balanced meal. Here’s what I layered in this particular bowl:
- Microwavable quinoa (I love the Path of Life blends)
- Sautéed yellow and orange peppers, white onion
- Broccoli micro greens
- 1/4 avocado
- A fried egg
- Frontera salsa
- Freshly chopped cilantro
- Red pepper flake (hot sauce would also do nicely)
So what’s the key to making this “easy”? Meal prep… on Sunday I chopped, sautéed, and stored all these goodies in the fridge so that come Monday morning, all I had to do was pretend I was Emeril, and BAM! A bowl was made. #nomnomnnomnomnom
