Quinoa in a Healthy, High-Protein Egg Scramble Recipe

Quinoa

When I’m craving eggs for breakfast, this High Protein Quinoa Egg Scramble is my absolute favorite!

My go-to breakfast when I’m feeling like eggs is always this Healthy Egg Scramble.

I like it because, in the morning, I know that I am consuming a minimum of 20g of protein, and it keeps me fuller than a bowl of cereal, perhaps.

Furthermore, plain old scrambled eggs might get really boring. Quinoa is an easy and healthful way to add scrambled eggs to your morning, making it a filling and high-protein dish.

Add some cheese for the ideal touch of saltiness, any chopped vegetables you’d like, and fresh herbs—I especially enjoy basil. This type of healthy egg scramble is really simple to create and gives a distinctive feeling to breakfast!

Ingredients needed for this nutritious egg scramble are:

For this scramble, very minimal ingredients are required:

  • Quinoa: I prepare a cup of quinoa following the instructions on the package. I’ll have enough quinoa this way for a week’s worth of scrambles.
  • Eggs: Depending on your hunger level and my preference, I usually add two eggs to my scrambles. I generally cook my husband four eggs!
  • Fresh spinach that has been chopped is ideal. Any vegetable, though, would be welcome to be added: kale, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, asparagus, etc.
  • Cheese: Parmesan, white cheddar, and mozzarella are all excellent choices.
  • Garlic: Since I adore garlic, I add two to three cloves to each dish! If you don’t want it in your eggs, you can leave it out.
  • Basic flavors are pepper and salt! You can also add thyme, chives, dill, or basil!
