Easy High Protein Breakfast Bowls made with fluffy scrambled eggs, lean protein, hearty grains, and fresh vegetables for a balanced and energizing start to the day.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or diced chicken
  • 1 cup sautéed spinach or kale
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Sliced avocado for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté spinach or kale until wilted. Set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs and egg whites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until cooked through but still soft.
  3. Warm the cooked quinoa or brown rice if needed.
  4. Assemble each bowl by layering the grains at the bottom.
  5. Add scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or diced chicken, sautéed greens, and cherry tomatoes.
  6. Top with cottage cheese or Greek yogurt and sliced avocado if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or portion into airtight containers for meal prep.

Notes

  • Swap quinoa for roasted sweet potatoes or cauliflower rice for variety.
  • Skip grains and add extra vegetables for a lower-carb option.
  • Add salsa, hot sauce, shredded cheese, or feta for extra flavor.
  • Add avocado and yogurt after reheating for best texture.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freeze grain and protein base separately for up to 1 month.
