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.

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!
