Instructions
Creating your Savory Breakfast Bowl is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Cook the Grains: In a saucepan, combine quinoa or brown rice with vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes).
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped kale or spinach, red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Prepare the Eggs: In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, scrambled, or poached). If using tofu, sauté until golden brown.
4. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste to the sautéed vegetables.
5. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer the cooked grains first. Top with the sautéed vegetables and your cooked eggs or tofu.
6. Add Avocado: Slice the avocado and arrange it on top of the bowl.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for added flavor and color.
8. Serve: Drizzle with hot sauce or salsa if desired.
