How to Make Breakfast Pro Power Bowl
This is a simple assembly job at its best. If you've already prepped hard-boiled eggs, you're part of the way there. Batch cooking lentils and quinoa helps, too; whatever you have left over from making this dish you can freeze. Or maybe you've got some frozen lentils or quinoa you can pull out like a magician to help speed up this healthy meal prep.
How to Serve Breakfast Pro Power Bowl
This meal prep recipe can quickly be made ahead of time. It's good either warm or cold, depending on your preference, for breakfast or lunch. Heat up the lentils and quinoa if desired; otherwise, this meal prep is perfectly delicious at room temperature or chilled.
How to Store Breakfast Pro Power Bowl
It'll keep in airtight containers in the fridge for 4 or 5 days. You can freeze some elements of this dish, if needed, with the exception of the egg and avocado. They won't really freeze well.
Substitutions and Alterations
Add in 3 ounces of cooked chicken breast (we love a good rotisserie for this reason) and you have a second meal option, also ready in minutes.
Use any kind of lentils you like, but the French green ones will hold their shape the best in cooked salad situations like this.
Serve this over a bed of greens if cabbage and carrots aren't your things. Cauliflower rice would work, too, as another veggie to load up on in the morning.
Drizzle some high-quality extra-virgin olive oil (or even avocado oil) over this breakfast pro power bowl before serving. It perks up all the flavors and adds a little bit of fat, which will help your body absorb all those nutrients.
Top with a handful of chopped almonds or walnuts, or a couple of tablespoons of hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds for extra nutrients.
Tips for Prepping
For this easy meal prep recipe, make the hard-boiled eggs ahead of time, along with the quinoa and the lentils. Hard-boiled eggs can sit right in your fridge, unpeeled, in a bowl, until you're ready to use them. Keep the quinoa and lentils in airtight containers in the fridge.
