A chilly morning deserves a hearty breakfast. But you deserve a healthy breakfast. What’s a hungry body to do? Whip up this hearty AND healthy breakfast bowl. That’s what!
Filled with all the good-for-you stuff: kale, chickpeas, quinoa, purple cabbage and tangy radish, this breakfast dish is a great way to get your greens. But it’s also got an insanely lickable tahini-lemon dressing and is topped with a fried egg. So the sweet part of you can meet the sassy part with you, and peacefully share a breakfast table in style.
For this dish, feel free to upgrade or swap flavors, as desired. If you’re paleo, swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes, and enjoy cauliflower rice instead of quinoa. Vegan eaters will want to nix the egg, of course. But switch in a bit of fried tempeh, and all your plant-loving innards will glow with peace and joy.
And speaking of peace and joy: give yourself a morning full of both by prepping most of this meal ahead of time. The potatoes and chickpeas can be cooked the night before. So when you wake, all that’s left is coffee and compiling the ready-to-go ingredients.
Of course, on a lazy Saturday, we wouldn’t expect you to have spent Friday night standing over the stovetop. So slip into your softest socks and tiptoe into the kitchen for a low-key morning of breakfast prep. Everything here is easy enough to whip together in 30 minutes. So you’ll have just enough time to catch up on your article reading, or scroll through Pinterest or IG.
And if that doesn’t sound like a blissful morning, then try it all again Sunday and call us when you come out the other side. Guaranteed, you’ll be glowing with health, happiness and a happy belly.
