Ingredients
For the Base (Choose One):
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- ½ cup rolled oats (cooked or overnight oats)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
For the Protein:
- 1–2 eggs (scrambled, boiled, or fried)
- Optional: ¼ cup cottage cheese or tofu scramble (for a plant-based option)
For the Toppings (Customizable):
- Fresh fruit (banana slices, berries, apple chunks, etc.)

Instructions
1. Prepare the Base:
- Start with your choice of base: cooked quinoa, oats, or Greek yogurt. If using oats, you can quickly microwave them with water or milk for 1-2 minutes, or use pre-made overnight oats.
2. Cook the Protein:
- While the base is being prepared, cook your protein. Scramble, boil, or fry an egg in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, warm up pre-cooked eggs or tofu scramble for extra speed.
3. Assemble the Bowl:
- Place your base in a bowl and top it with the cooked protein. Add fresh fruit slices, seeds, and a drizzle of nut butter or honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
4. Serve and Go:
- Grab a spoon and enjoy your nutrient-packed breakfast bowl at home, or pack it in a portable container for an on-the-go meal. Customize as needed to suit your morning routine
