Breakfast, they say it’s the most important meal of the day. I am not so sure that is true. I think every meal is important. But I can say that for me, a good breakfast sets the tone for healthy eating the rest of the day.
I like to keep my breakfast simple, like this Simple Quinoa Breakfast Bowl.

The Quinoa, Prosciutto and Egg:
I like to cook a batch of quinoa at the beginning of the week and pull it out as needed all week long for breakfasts, salads, side dishes, whatever. For this breakfast, I reheat the quinoa in the same pan I cook the prosciutto and egg in for easy clean up. Prosciutto tastes like bacon but because it doesn’t require cooking it is perfect for a quick breakfast. And that egg…well it’s sunny side up with a crispy bottom!
The Simple Additions:
We place the quinoa, egg and prosciutto in a bowl alongside diced avocado and sliced tomatoes. Quick, easy, well rounded and delicious. It doesn’t get better than that!
The Recipe: Simple Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa follow package instructions
- 1/2 a ripe avocado peeled and diced
- One small tomato sliced

To make this meal quicker, cook quinoa in advance and keep in fridge till needed.

Place a pan on med/high heat, add enough butter or ghee to coat the bottom of the pan.
