Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 cup spinach, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed

4 large eggs

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup feta cheese (optional)

Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Stir in cherry tomatoes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

      Cook the Eggs: In a separate pot or skillet, bring water to a gentle simmer. Carefully crack the eggs into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can fry or scramble the eggs to your liking.

        Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa into meal prep containers. Top each portion with spinach and tomato mixture, black beans, diced avocado, and a poached egg. Sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh herbs if desired.

          Storage: Let the breakfast bowls cool before sealing the containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

            Reheat and Enjoy: When ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or enjoy cold.
