Speedy Kale, Egg and Quinoa Breakfast

August 10, 2015 by Stacey 1 Comment

A protein-packed breakfast whipped up in a flash.

If you’ve got leftover quinoa in your fridge (like I do) and are a bit over quinoa salad (like I am), then grab a couple of eggs and a bit of kale and get started on this savoury little number.

I love toast, but I used to eat more of the toast than the veggies at breakfast, and this is an attempt to rectify that situation. Packed full of a double-serve of protein from the eggs and quinoa, it’s a pretty awesome start to the day, helping keep you fuller for longer. The avocado (if you add it) is delicious and full of good fats all at the same time. Pop in kale for extra nutrition points and sweet sauteed tomatoes and garlic for flavour and it would be hard to be disappointed!

The fun thing is that you can also customise this pretty widely, any veggie or breakfasty food would be a great addition. I remembered too late I should have added a bit of the goat cheese I had in the fridge, and by all means, serve it with a slab of buttery toast on the side if you’re like me and you wig out about eating egg on its own. Having said that, I eat this and haven’t died, so perhaps there’s a chance for me yet.

I love a good rut-breaker, and I especially like it when it doesn’t take forever to make, because I’m usually about to eat my own head seven minutes after getting out of bed in the morning. I’m not one for lots of faffing in the AM.

    This is ace. I’m always thinking of non-bread alternatives for breakfast but the only problem is that I can’t be arsed to make them! This looks totally manageable but most of all, it looks delicious!
