Good morning Steemers! I wanted to share a breakfast with you that is sure to make your stomach & taste buds very happy! Britt from @sharingeverybite helped add some insight to what makes this a healthy meal!
It's a surprisingly simple and healthy breakfast that had me wanting thirds! (But then I rememberd Brittany needed food, too, so I restrained myself.)
For this meal you'll need 1-2 cups cooked quinoa, 2 small sweet potatoes, 2 cups uncooked spinach, coconut oil, and various spices.
Oh, and the key to the happy tummy is fiber, LOTS and lots of fiber! -Britt
1. Heat the pan up on Medium. (About 4 or 5 out of 10)
It's important to bring the pan up to heat first, then add the oil and let that get hot. The order is important! -Britt
2. Chop sweet potatoes into tiny cubes.
You can also add a variety of veggies such as celery, bell pepper, carrots, etc.
3. Add your favorite healthy oil to the hot pan, then add garlic to brown.
My favorite oils are coconut and avocado oil. I also buy pre-chopped garlic because it saves a whole lot of time! If you have a few extra minutes, fresh garlic has a few extra health benefits, though, especially if you let it sit for 10 minutes after mincing. -Britt
4. When your oil is nice and hot, infuse your spices in the oil by letting them simmer for about 30-60 seconds.
Spices: Paprika, Crushed Red Pepper, Turmeric, Parsley, Black Pepper, Salt
5. Add the sweet potatoes, let cook for 15 minutes (cook time may vary depending on your stove and pan)
6. Add the spinach and pre-cooked quinoa
Once everything is warm, you're ready to serve!
To make your tummy even happier, eat your breakfast with at least 10 oz. of room temperature water to jump start your digestive system.
Yum!
