Breakfast Power Bowls

Ingredients

As the story goes Buddha would walk the roads and paths wherever he went accepting food from locals. At the end of the day the Buddha would eat whatever people put in his bowl. These are the ingredients I found in my fridge so that's what went into my bowl.

• sweet potato
• quinoa
• bacon
• spinach
• avocado sliced
• cherry tomatoes halved
• eggs
• cilantro

Blender Hollandaise Sauce

• egg yolks
• lemon juice
• butter

See recipe card for exact amounts.

Instructions

In my kitchen we love anything that can be swirled, scattered, drizzled or dotted on a plate. For this plate it was my easy blender hollandaise sauce. It's a decadent sauce that makes an upscale addition to this bowl.

Substitutions

Be inspired by what's in your fridge, your favourite foods and maybe something that's a bit of a stretch. That's how you'll find new combinations you love.

• Sweet potato - Substitute plain potatoes, cooked how you like them.
• Quinoa - Try brown rice, especially if you have some leftover.
• Bacon - Go meatless or substitute with sausage or an extra egg.
• Spinach & avocado - Substitute with anything green like broccoli or kale.
• Cherry tomatoes - Whole tomatoes or fried tomatoes.
• Hollandaise sauce - Try chipotle mayonnaise if you want some heat and a southwestern flare.

Variations for Power Bowls

Modern interpretations of Breakfast Power Bowls have no rules. I think they should include several power foods like greens, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and grains. I think quinoa is a superfood so that's what I put in my bowl. I also included five superfoods from the list below that I found at Healthline.com.
