Quinoa, Eggs, and Chayote (Better Breakfast Month)

During National Better Breakfast Month,  you can vary your egg meals by making a bowl of quinoa and a vegetable. Adding whole grains to your breakfast can be easy by making quinoa and using vegetables in season. Alternatively, you can use riced cauliflower, or brown rice, or other types of rice. Nonetheless, consuming whole grains can be helpful for your digestive system and cardiovascular system. Always consult with your doctor or registered dietician before incorporating quinoa, riced cauliflower, or rice to your meals.

Quinoa can be used for breakfast or other meals throughout the day. It keeps you full for several hours until your next meal. Yet, it is necessary to prepare the quinoa ahead of time and your selected vegetables. In the example pictures, you can make egg whites with quinoa or scrambled eggs, quinoa, and chayote for breakfast. Here is the recipe. 

Ingredients:

Quinoa 

Garlic Cloves

One Bell Pepper 

Eggs

Chayote 

Dried Parsley Flakes 

Dill Weed 

Ground Black Pepper 

Chicken Bouillon or Broth

Recipe: 

Wash and peel the chayotes. Remove the seeds of the chayotes. Boil the slices of chayotes in a pot with water. Next, make the quinoa by slicing bell peppers and pressed garlic. Use a garlic presser to crush the garlic cloves. 

Add water with chicken bouillon or broth inside a small pot. Then add the slices of the bell peppers, dried parsley flakes, dill weed, and the quinoa. After that wait until it boils and turn off the stove. Wait for the water or broth to evaporate. Lastly, cover the quinoa with a lid. 

Prepare the egg whites by removing the egg shells and egg yolks. Alternatively, you can make scrambled eggs with the egg yolks. Use olive oil or a cooking butter spray to make the egg whites or scrambled eggs. After that serve the quinoa, chayote, and the scrambled eggs with a dash of ground black pepper. Another way is by serving the egg whites with the quinoa and ground black pepper. 

Save the leftovers in separate containers. Cooked Quinoa can last up to five days or seven days when stored in an air tight container. The entire month of September is National Better Breakfast Month and planning your breakfasts ahead of time can reduce morning stress. It can also save you time in the mornings to spend time with your family. Finally dedicate some time to make healthier breakfasts for your family during Better Breakfast Month and throughout the year.
