Ingredients
  

Grains
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (or brown rice) Use brown rice for a heartier option.
Proteins
  • 1 cup black beans Canned or cooked—both work perfectly.
  • 4 large eggs Swap with tofu for a vegan option.
Vegetables
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers Use colorful peppers for a vibrant look.
  • 1 cup shredded carrots Adds a touch of sweetness.
Spices & Misc
  • 1 teaspoon cumin Adds warmth and depth.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil For cooking veggies.
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish Optional, but very refreshing!
  • Avocado slices or guacamole For a decadent finish.

Method
 

Cooking the Grains
  1. In a medium pot, combine quinoa (or rice) with water as per the package instructions. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
Sauté the Veggies
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Toss in the diced bell peppers and shredded carrots. Sauté until vibrant and slightly tender, about 5–7 minutes.
Prepare the Eggs
  1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs together. Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and pour in the eggs. Scramble gently until cooked through, about 3–5 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Add in the cooked quinoa (or rice), black beans, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste your creation! Adjust seasonings as needed and consider adding a squeeze of lime.
Cool and Portion
  1. Allow it to cool slightly, then divide into individual glass containers, perfect for freezing.
Freeze
  1. Once completely cooled, store each bowl in the freezer for easy access on busy mornings.

Notes

These bowls are great for meal prep and can be reheated in the microwave or oven. Swap ingredients and add seasonal veggies for variety.
