Healthy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes to Start Your Day
1. Quinoa Egg Scramble – This recipe offers a powerful serving of protein, so if you’re working out hard or just trying to boost your metabolism, give this one a try. Here’s what you need:
- ¼ cup of cooked quinoa
- 2 organic eggs
- 1 tablespoon of skim milk or milk alternative
- 1 cup of fresh baby spinach
- ½ tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic (can substitute with garlic powder)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Grab a non-stick skillet or frying pan and bring to medium heat. Add in your olive oil and garlic, and cook for about a minute. In a small mixing bowl, whisk your eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside, and add the cup of spinach to the skillet, cooking for only about 30 seconds (until just starting to wilt). Pour the egg and milk mixture into the skillet, and beat the eggs continuously (just like making scrambled eggs). Just before the eggs are cooked through, add your quinoa and mix in lightly. Top off with a little parmesan cheese and serve.
