Kick-start your day with a nourishing high-protein breakfast bowl featuring quinoa, Greek yogurt, and fresh vegetables, topped with a perfectly cooked egg.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or feta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce or salsa (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the quinoa according to the package instructions. Once it’s cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook it to your preference—sunny-side up or over easy. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, Greek yogurt, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, black beans, and cheese. Mix gently until everything is well combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and carefully place the cooked egg on top of the quinoa mixture.
  5. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and drizzle with hot sauce or salsa if desired.
  6. Serve immediately and savor your nutritious high-protein breakfast bowl!

Notes

Feel free to swap the cheese for a dairy-free option or replace black beans with chickpeas. This dish can also be prepared in advance.
