Unbelievably easy and downright delicious, this Avocado and Egg Breakfast Bowl is your ticket to a morning where you actually feel like you’ve got your life together. It’s creamy, it’s protein-packed, and it’s got that Instagram-worthy look without any of the fuss.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 lime, juiced

Instructions

1. Prep the avocado: Scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a bowl, leaving a little bit in the skin to keep it sturdy. Mash it lightly with a fork, then mix in the lime juice, salt, black pepper, and half of the cilantro.
2. Cook the eggs: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and cook for about 3 minutes for runny yolks or 5 minutes for set yolks.
3. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the mashed avocado back into the avocado skins. Top each with a cooked egg, then sprinkle with the remaining cilantro. Tip: If you’re feeling fancy, a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of feta cheese takes this up a notch.
4. Serve immediately: Enjoy right away while the eggs are still warm and the avocado is cool and creamy. The contrast in temperatures and textures is what makes this dish a morning game-changer.

The creaminess of the avocado pairs perfectly with the richness of the eggs, and that little kick from the red pepper flakes? Chef’s kiss. Try serving it on a slice of toasted sourdough for some crunch, or keep it low-carb and dig in straight from the avocado shell.

Spinach and Feta Omelette

Ever find yourself staring into the fridge at 8 AM, wondering how to turn that sad bunch of spinach and leftover feta into something that doesn’t scream ‘I gave up’? Let’s make a spinach and feta omelette that’s so fluffy, you’ll forget it’s actually good for you.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until fully blended and slightly frothy.
2. Heat pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
3. Cook spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until just wilted. Tip: Wilt spinach quickly to retain its bright color and nutrients.
4. Add eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting to spread them evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 20 seconds.
5. Sprinkle feta: Evenly distribute the crumbled feta over one half of the omelette. Tip: Using your hand to sprinkle ensures even distribution without overloading.

3. Give it a stir: In the morning, give your oats a good stir. If they’re thicker than you’d like, add a splash more milk to loosen them up.
4. Top it off: Now’s the fun part—add your favorite toppings. Think fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup if you’re feeling extra.

And there you have it—creamy, dreamy overnight oats that taste like dessert but are totally breakfast-approved. The chia seeds add a little texture and a whole lot of goodness, making this the ultimate grab-and-go meal.

2. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water, almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Simmer gently: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
4. Stir in coconut oil: Remove from heat and stir in the coconut oil for a bit of richness. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes to thicken up.
5. Serve warm: Dish it up into bowls, pour a little extra almond milk over the top if you like it creamier, and sprinkle with fresh berries and nuts for some crunch and color.

This porridge is creamy with a slight nuttiness from the quinoa, and the cinnamon and maple syrup give it a cozy, sweet vibe. Try drizzling a little extra maple syrup on top or adding a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.

4. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk 6 large egg whites with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder until frothy. Tip: No yolk? No problem. This keeps it light and fluffy.
5. Scramble: Pour the egg whites over the veggies in the skillet. Let them set for about 30 seconds, then gently stir to scramble. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still moist.

The scramble comes out light as a cloud with a pop of color from the veggies, and the garlic powder? A tiny but mighty flavor booster. Serve it on toast, or go wild and wrap it in a tortilla with a sprinkle of cheese – because why not?

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup diced avocado
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions

1. Cook quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
2. Sauté beans: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through.
3. Fry eggs: In the same skillet, fry eggs to your preferred doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for about 3 minutes.
4. Assemble bowl: Divide cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with sautéed black beans, fried eggs, cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice.

This bowl is a texture dream—creamy avocado, fluffy quinoa, and a little crunch from the beans, all tied together with a zesty lime kick. Try it with a dollop of sour cream or hot sauce if you’re feeling extra.
