Ingredients

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

4 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach or kale

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa and black beans. Season with ground cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture evenly into meal prep containers or bowls for seven portions.

Sauté the Greens: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the spinach or kale until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Evenly distribute the sautéed greens over the quinoa and bean mixture in each container.

Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, cook the eggs to your liking—sunny-side up, scrambled, or poached. Place one egg on top of each breakfast bowl.

Add Fresh Toppings: Top each bowl with halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and shredded cheese.

Store: Seal the bowls with lids or plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reheat & Serve: When ready to eat, simply microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Serve with a wedge of lime for an extra burst of flavor.
