At MPOF, we believe breakfast is the most important part of the day. What do we need in the morning to get our days started off right? Energy! Your body is truly miraculous. A finely oiled, intricate machine—Think of it as a Lamborghini sports car, in fact. In order to keep a Lamborghini running well and at its full potential, you have to use high-octane fuel. Our bodies are the same way. In order to maintain our bodies, and keep healthy energy flowing through it, we must be mindful of the kind of fuel, or food, we are consuming!
It’s for this reason that we absolutely love today’s meal prep recipe—A  summer breakfast salad! Not only does it help provide your body with necessary morning energy, but it mixes your breakfast food routine up! What does a typical American breakfast usually contain? Any combination of fried eggs, bacon, sausage, buttered toast, hash browns, syrupy pancakes, and/or cereal. It goes without saying that these traditional American breakfast food choices are delicious. The questionable part is, are those choices truly healthy? Generally not! This breakfast salad smashes the status quo by bringing in mixed greens, blueberries, sunflower seeds, walnuts, eggs for protein, and avocado!
Easy and flavorful breakfast salad packed with mixed greens, berries, nuts, seeds, hard-boiled eggs, and a creamy avocado dressing. Perfect for mixing up your breakfast routine.
This summer breakfast salad meal prep recipe comes together super quickly! We clocked just 10 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes of cook time when we made it because the directions are extremely simple. Boil your eggs for 8-10 minutes; while this happens, just combine avocado, garlic, lime juice, olive or avocado oil, salt, and pepper in a blender for your dressing! You’ll know it’s done blending when the ingredients are liquid but still a little bit thick.
Did you know that avocado is an amazing superfood? Bursting with fats like oleic acid, studies have shown that increased avocado intake can lower bad cholesterol, known as LDL up to 11%, and increase levels of good cholesterol, known as HDL up to 22%! They’re also packed with fiber (7g), monounsaturated fat (5g), antioxidants for eye health, and even more potassium than a banana!
These sunflower seeds are nuts! Well, no… They’re sunflower seeds, but their nutritional benefits are nuts! Not only are they loaded with high-density proteins, folic acid, anti-oxidants, and vitamins B&E, but they’ve been shown to increase energy levels while lowering bad LDL cholesterol and anxiety levels! This means that by eating this summer breakfast salad meal prep, you are not only nourishing and energizing your body now, but mitigating for possible health risks down the road
