Why This Recipe Works

• Breakfast bowls are very customizable. Change up the grains, veggies and the way your eggs are cooked.
• It’s a super healthy and satisfying recipe.
• You can make them for lunch and dinner too.

Here is How To Make a Breakfast Bowl

Get all of the ingredients ready: cook the whole grains, and if you are using a hard or soft boiled, cook that too. Slice the avocado and chop the garlic and grab a bowl.

Step 1. Add a spoonful of cooked whole grains to the bowl.

Step 2. Heat some olive oil in a skillet; add the garlic and greens; quickly toss until the greens are just wilted. Add a splash of tamari sauce.

Step 3. Add the greens to the bowl with the whole grains.

Step 4. Next, add the avocado and egg.

Total Estimated Time to Make this Recipe:  50 to 60 minutes (which includes time to cook the whole grains.)

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Whole grains – Use any of your favorite whole grains such as brown rice, wheat berries, quinoa, bulgur, farro, barley, or steel-cut oats to make your breakfast bowl. These bowls are a great way to use up leftover whole grains.

Leafy greens – Any leafy green works in this recipe. We like to use arugula, spinach, kale, or chard.

Egg – Hard or soft-boiled eggs are a good choice because they can be made ahead of time. You can also make your breakfast bowl with fried, scrambled or poached eggs.

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions

Cook a batch of whole grains, and boil a few eggs and store them in the refrigerator separately for up to four days.

To serve, quickly cook the greens and garlic, and put the bowl together.

Store your leftover or make-ahead bowl in the refrigerator for up to four days.
