Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 cup spinach, fresh

1 medium carrot, grated

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), for garnish

Optional: a poached egg or a dollop of Greek yogurt for topping

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water (or broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.

    Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated carrot and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Prepare the Base: Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork, then stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice for added nutrition and flavor.

        Assemble the Bowl: In individual serving bowls, layer the quinoa at the bottom. Top with the sautéed veggies and arrange the avocado slices artistically on top.

          Add Optional Toppings: For extra protein, top with a poached egg or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for a burst of flavor.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy a colorful, nutrient-packed breakfast that's perfect for starting your day on a clean note!
