Hi friends! Popping in today to share a quick recipe for a breakfast power bowl. Today’s the 22nd, so today’s recipe is part of The Recipe Redux monthly challenge! The Recipe Redux is a group of nutrition and dietitian bloggers sharing healthy recipes for a certain theme every month.
This month’s theme:
Good Gut Health
With cold and flu season upon us, the best defense may be good gut health. Since much of our immune health begins in the gut, show us your healthy, delicious recipe to bolster gut health.
I think the best way to stay healthy during the cold and flu season is to keep a regular meal schedule. Eating breakfast is the best way to start your day and to keep your energy levels high.
Two of my favorite veggies are spinach and mushrooms (technically mushrooms aren’t a veggie though). I put them on everything — pizza, pasta, quesadillas, and now breakfast bowls! Spinach and mushrooms are full of vitamins to keep you healthy during the flu and cold season.
Smoked salmon and soft boiled eggs provide the protein here. I’m a huge fan of smoked salmon– I wish it wasn’t so expensive or else I would eat it every day. During our honeymoon I ate it every day, and on our trip in the UK many of the hotels also had smoked salmon as an option. I love putting it on a bagel or eating it with eggs.
Enjoy this easy power bowl
