Ingredients
  

  • 3 Eggs large, pasture raised
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup Quinoa cooked
  • 1/2 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1/2 Avocado sliced thin
  • 1 handful Spinach or Kale
  • 1 tbsp Hemp hearts
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds
  • Optional Smoked Salmon or Turkey
  • Optional Nutritional yeast
  • Optional Almonds slivered and toasted

Equipment

  • skillet,
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden Spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by warming your favorite heavy skillet over medium heat. Add a small touch of olive oil or butter.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk your eggs with a dollop of Greek yogurt. This creates a protein smoothie-like consistency that becomes incredibly fluffy once cooked.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a wooden spatula to slowly pull the eggs toward the center.
  4. While the eggs are still slightly soft, fold in your cottage cheese and cooked quinoa.
  5. Toss in your spinach and let it wilt for just thirty seconds.
  6. Once the eggs are set but still moist, slide them into a bowl.
  7. Top with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of hemp hearts, and some toasted almonds. For those following a high protein breakfast for fitness enthusiasts plan, this is where you can add extra salmon or lean beef.
  8. Finish with a light drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of flax seeds for a final touch of breakfast protein powder alternative nutrition.
