Hearty Breakfast Bowl

Chef notes

Get your day off to a great start with this savory and satisfying breakfast bowl! It’s filled to the brim with energizing ingredients such as  eggs, lentils, sweet potatoes, avocado, beets, tomatoes and greens. You’ll get protein, healthy fats, and a jumpstart on your vegetable requirements all in one bountiful, colorful bowl. 

What’s even better about this breakfast bowl is most of the components can be prepared ahead of time. Roast or steam the beets and sweet potatoes and boil the lentils and eggs up to five days in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When it comes time for breakfast, whisk the olive oil and balsamic vinegar together and toss this dressing with your choice of mixed greens. Pile the greens into two individual serving bowls then cut the tomatoes and avocado before arranging them on top of the greens along with the prepared beets, sweet potatoes, lentils and hard-boiled eggs. 

To make it even easier on yourself, consider picking up some of the ingredients already prepared at the grocery store. Buy pre-cooked lentils or use a can of chickpeas, white beans or black beans instead. Purchase a package of cooked beets or head to the hot bar to grab cooked sweet potatoes and hard-boiled eggs. These simple conveniences are bound to make your morning even easier.
