Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Unusual but incredibly satisfying. Quinoa is a complete protein — all 9 essential amino acids. Great for mornings when you need lasting energy.

Ingredients

½ cup cooked quinoa (cook a big batch Sunday)

• 1 large egg, poached or soft-boiled
• ½ avocado, sliced

¼ cup edamame (thawed frozen)

• 2 tbsp hemp seeds
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes
• Optional: 1 tbsp tahini drizzle

Directions

1. Warm quinoa in microwave 60–90 seconds, or serve at room temperature.
2. Cook egg poached or soft-boiled (soft-boil: 7 minutes in boiling water, then ice bath).
3. Assemble bowl: quinoa base, then arrange avocado slices, edamame, and egg.
4. Sprinkle hemp seeds over top.

Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

1. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Add tahini drizzle if using.

Notes

Hemp seeds are a nutritional powerhouse — high in omega-3s, complete protein, and magnesium. They have a mild, nutty flavor and add 10g protein per 3 tbsp serving. Keep a bag in your pantry.
