Clean Food Breakfast Bowls

At the heart of the Wholesome Morning Bliss Bowl is quinoa, a seed that has gained superfood status for good reason. Quinoa is not only gluten-free but also exceptionally high in protein, making it a fantastic option for both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Unlike many plant-based protein sources, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own. Additionally, quinoa is rich in fiber, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.

Start your day with the vibrant Wholesome Morning Bliss Bowl, a nutritious breakfast option that's both satisfying and delicious. This colorful bowl features protein-rich quinoa, fresh vegetables like spinach and avocado for healthy fats, and tangy feta cheese, all creatively layered for visual appeal. Quick to customize depending on your dietary needs, this breakfast bowl is packed with essential nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day. Discover how to prepare this delightful dish and make it a staple in your morning routine.

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh spinach

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh herbs for garnish (basil, parsley, or cilantro)

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Season the Quinoa: Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Prepare the Vegetables: While the quinoa is cooling, slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the cucumber. Rinse the spinach under cold water and pat dry.

Assemble the Breakfast Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a generous scoop of the seasoned quinoa as the base. Layer on spinach, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Sprinkle feta cheese on top if desired.

Garnish and Serve: Add fresh herbs for flavor and color. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
