Ingredients

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth

1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup spinach, fresh or thawed from frozen

4 large eggs (or egg substitutes for a vegan option)

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water (or vegetable broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Sauté the Spinach: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

      Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if necessary. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness; sunny-side-up or scrambled works well. Season with salt and pepper.

        Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa into 2 bowls. Top with sautéed spinach, chickpeas, cooked eggs, sliced avocado, and cherry tomatoes.

          Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, if using, and garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.

            Serve: Drizzle a little more olive oil over the bowls if desired and enjoy your energizing protein-packed breakfast!
