Hey there, breakfast lovers! 💁♀️
Let me tell you about a breakfast salad that’s totally going to change your morning game. I know what you’re thinking – “Salad for breakfast? Girl, are you crazy?” But trust me, once you try this gorgeous creation, you’ll never look at breakfast the same way again!
This protein-packed, nutrient-rich breakfast salad is what I like to call my “Rise and Shine Power Bowl,” and it’s seriously Instagram-worthy. Plus, it’ll keep you full and energized way past that annoying mid-morning slump (bye-bye, 10 AM cookie cravings! 👋).
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cups baby spinach or arugula (or both if you’re feeling fancy!)
– 2 soft-boiled eggs (I’ll teach you my foolproof method)
– 1/2 avocado, sliced
– 4-5 cherry tomatoes, halved
– 2 strips of crispy bacon, crumbled
– 1/4 cup quinoa, cooked
– Handful of microgreens
– 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
– Your favorite vinaigrette

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. First, let’s nail those perfect jammy eggs. Bring water to a boil, gently lower your eggs, and set that timer for exactly 6.5 minutes. Trust me on this one!
1. Meanwhile, cook your quinoa according to package instructions. Pro tip: cook extra for meal prep – future you will thank me later!
1. While everything’s cooking, crisp up that bacon until it’s perfect (you know what I mean – that sweet spot between chewy and crispy).
1. Now for the fun part! Layer your greens in a gorgeous bowl (because we eat with our eyes first, right?).
1. Arrange your toppings in sections – I’m talking about that Instagram-worthy presentation, ladies! Place those jammy eggs (cut in half to show off that perfect yolk), fan out that avocado, scatter those tomatoes, and sprinkle your bacon bits.
1. Top with quinoa, microgreens, and pumpkin seeds for that extra crunch factor.
1. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette – I personally love a light lemon-honey situation, but you do you, boo!
The best part? This recipe is totally customizable! Not feeling bacon? Try smoked salmon! Want extra protein? Add some chickpeas! This is your breakfast party! 🎉
