    Breakfast Power Bowls

    Breakfast Power Bowls can easily be gluten free and include almost anything you want. This one includes a combination of healthy super foods, with bacon and hollandaise sauce for a little weekend indulgence.

    Some sources refer to power bowls as quick and easy. Grabbing a jar of overnight oats or a homemade muffin is quick and easy. My Breakfast Power Bowl is for a leisurely weekend meal. Roasting a sweet potatoes for twenty-five minutes while I drink coffee is fine with me. My son can whip up his blender hollandaise in no time so it's easy to create a beautiful bowl, but we're not trying to be quick.

    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.

    Dark leafy greensNuts and seedsTurmeric
    BerriesKefir and yogurtSalmon
    Green teaGarlicAvocado
    EggsOlive oilSweet potato
    LegumesGingerMushrooms & Seaweed

    Top Tip: Weekend Power Bowls

    It's all about the timing so work together in the kitchen, don't make a fuss and the more you make this breakfast bowl the more easily it will come together. You naturally become more efficient when you repeat the same recipe but only a few ingredients need to be warm so keep that in mind.

    Breakfast Power Bowl

    Ingredients

    COOK SWEET POTATOES

    • 2 cups cubed sweet potato
    • olive oil for roasting
    • salt and pepper

    POWER BOWL

    • ½ cup quinoa, cooked (will make about 2 cups)
    • 4 slices cooked bacon diced
    • ½ bunch spinach (fresh, wilted or sautéed)
    • 1 avocado sliced
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
    • 4 eggs
    • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

    BLENDER HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

    • 3 egg yolks
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • pinch of salt
    • ½ cup butter melted and warm
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes.
    • Cook quinoa according to package directions. Stir bacon into quinoa and set aside.
    • Add raw spinach or briefly cook it until just wilted (steamed in a pan with water or sautéed in some of the bacon grease). Set aside.

    BLENDER HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

    • Combine yolks, lemon juice and salt in blender.
    • Slowly drizzle in melted butter with blender running. Together the blender and the hot butter cook the egg making a silky, smooth hollandaise sauce. Use as soon as possible.

    ASSEMBLE POWER BOWLS

    • Arrange all ingredients any way you like in a bowl or on a plate.
    • Cook eggs to your liking and place in center of each bowl.
    • Drizzle with hollandaise, sprinkle with cilantro and serve. Makes 4 large bowls.

    Notes

    PRE-BREAKFAST PREP: Potatoes, quinoa and bacon can be leftover from another meal or cooked the night before.
    Hollandaise sauce can be kept for about an hour. Keep covered in a warm spot near the stove.
