This Healthy savory breakfast bowl is anything but average. It is high in plant-based protein and fiber, healthy fat and calcium. Because of it's simple ingredients, quick preparation and incredible taste, this bowl is the ideal start to any day.
You all know I am not a sweet tooth. When I discovered that breakfast does not have to be a predictable array of sweet and toasted things, it blew my mind. That's when I started to think outside the box and inside the bowl. My whole life I have avoided eating breakfast because typical breakfast foods like cereals and pancakes give me the jitters. I eat and literally 40 minutes later, I am shaking from low blood sugar. There were many years where I did eat eggs and breakfast burritos while I cooked brunch in a restaurant. But once I went vegan, I needed an alternative to the veggie and egg scrambles and omelets that I favored. That is when I started cooking more dishes like this healthy savory breakfast bowl.
In my book PLANT-BASED DIET IN 30 DAYS, I include many savory breakfasts like this one. This vegan bowl has some of my favorites like chickpeas, kale and cauliflower. I am a huge fan of easy meals and this healthy savory breakfast bowl is no different. It cooks up quickly and simply in about 20 minutes. This one is great for a bulk food prep, cook a double batch and have breakfast ready for days. Just reheat in the microwave! Of course, always wait to cut the avocado when serving as they become brown very quickly. The tater tots are a treat, they give it a little naughty twist that is optional but encouraged.
