It’s common to think that we need to start the day by eating something with carbohydrates (or sweet!) to give us energy, but this is simply not true. Starting the day with a protein-rich breakfast guarantees you will have stable energy throughout the day. And there's nothing better than having a first meal you can prepare the night before, so you never have to run out the door without eating anything.

This Protein-Rich Quinoa Breakfast Bowl will become your new staple first meal of the day. You can even make a big batch, change the toppings, and enjoy a different bowl each day.

This bowl is versatile as you can enjoy it warm if you prefer to eat it right away or cold if you prefer to make it the night before. It combines fluffy quinoa with crunchy chia seeds and, of course, protein, and all the other amazing ingredients from our Essentials Shake!

What I like the most about this bowl, and I have made batches and batches of it, is that you can make the same base but change the toppings. Once you find combinations that you like, you will enjoy a different nourishing breakfast each day. I prefer using maple syrup, but you can sweeten it to your liking. Vanilla extract does make a difference, so don’t skip that ingredient.

It’s so filling that you can count on it for those busy days when you need to keep yourself satiated for hours. I can’t wait for you to try this one!
