How to Build A Savory Breakfast Bowl
Making a savory breakfast bowl is very simple. Start with one or two favorite proteins; best choices are eggs cooked any which you like or couple a generous scoops of cottage cheese is an excellent source, plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, leftover baked tofu all make an excellent protein. Follow this by couple of cooked veggies; sautéed, roasted veggies are quick, my favorite is using up leftover from dinner. One or two raw veggies; followed by some sliced avocado, or seeds and nuts that add some nutty richness and help keep you full longer. In addition some toast if needed. Enjoy!
