Ingredients
Scale
For the Base
- 1 cup Quinoa (rinsed before cooking)
- 1 cup Kale (chopped finely)
- 1 cup Spinach (washed)
For the Toppings
- 1 whole Avocado (ripe, yields slightly when pressed)
- 2 large Eggs (soft-boiled)
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin Seeds (can be swapped)
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower Seeds (optional for allergies)
- 1/4 cup Feta Cheese (optional, if dairy is permitted)
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until water runs clear. In a pot, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is fully absorbed.
- Prepare the greens: While the quinoa cooks, finely chop 1 cup of kale and wash thoroughly 1 cup of fresh spinach. Set aside.
- Soft-boil the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add 2 large eggs and cook for 6 to 7 minutes for perfect soft-boiled eggs. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath for about 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Assemble the bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa as the base. Evenly add the chopped kale and spinach on top of the quinoa.
- Add toppings: Slice the ripe avocado and place the slices atop the greens. Peel and halve the soft-boiled eggs, then arrange them in the bowl along with pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Sprinkle with feta cheese if using.
Notes
- Optional: Drizzle the bowl with olive oil and add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
- Store assembled bowls (without avocado and eggs) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Substitute pumpkin or sunflower seeds with your preferred seeds or nuts based on dietary needs or allergies.
- Feta cheese is optional—omit if avoiding dairy.
