2 Protein-Packed Quinoa Breakfast Bowl Recipes

0 · Mar 24, 2023 ·

I love packing my breakfast with protein, which keeps me satiated until lunch, and also helps to keep my blood sugar levels in balance for an efficient metabolism. Protein also provides the building blocks for collagen, which is responsible for that firm and glowing skin [source]. These quinoa breakfast bowls provide a complete protein source, making it a comforting way to start your morning, and also a beauty-boosting nutrient package for the upcoming day’s events.

How To Make a Quinoa Breakfast Bowl – 2 Ways

Women are aggressively bombarded with marketing designed to convince us to buy beauty products and miracle food ingredients. Eating mindfully and knowing that beauty starts with what we put in our mouths and using simple, whole, nourishing ingredients you can easily find – these are the principles behind creating these summer breakfast recipes.

These bowls can easily be made in 15 minutes (if quinoa is already cooked, which you can include in your meal prep plans for the weekend) and combines these nutrient-packed foods to help you glow from the inside out.

Quinoa – one of the healthiest plant-based protein sources, offering all nine amino acids your body needs to build up protein blocks. Aiming to get at least 60 grams of protein per day will help your body balance hormone production, maintain your weight and help you build muscle during daily exercise. We all know that our skin is the best mirror of how we feel inside, so balanced hormone production is definitely important!

Start by making a quinoa granola with seeds, flax, and chocolate for tasty way to start the day. Then build your bowl with:

Vitamin C-packed fruits – such as mango, lime and blueberries support progesterone production, reduce PMS symptoms, eye puffiness and help calm anxiety and regulate mood changes.

Yogurt – the fact that health starts in your gut isn’t a secret! Your microbiome needs to be constantly refreshed, and including natural probiotics like yogurt in your daily routine is the easiest way to do it.

Honey Almond Toffee Quinoa Breakfast Bowl with Strawberries

Quinoa combines with almond toffee, diced strawberries, nut butter, and coconut flakes for a warm, satisfying breakfast bowl that will make your gut happy.

Consider keeping your gut healthy as a passport to overall good health [source]. A happy, replenished microbiome boosts the immune system, improves nutrient absorption, produces serotonin for a good mood, and neutralizes toxins, alleviating the burden on your liver and skin [source].

Honey, oats, and flax are my favorite prebiotics, while cultured veggies and certain brands of natural yogurt are loaded with good bacteria to replenish your microbiome (check the labels to be sure live cultures are included).

Seeds and Flax for Omega-3s

Not only are you getting protein but also a dose of omega-3s thanks to nuts and seeds. Omega-3s are a great anti-inflammatory ingredient. They help to maintain the cell membrane of skin from the inside, while reducing the marks from oxidative stress on your skin from the outside. Flax and hemp seeds are excellent plant-based omega-3 sources [source].
