Quinoa & Egg Breakfast

Quinoa & Egg Breakfast

I was in Honolulu last spring for work. It was willingly not the way I delusory I would visit Hawai ' i for the first time, but I guess beggars can ' t be choosers. All I did during that trip was wake up, hit the gym and head to the conference foyer. While you are pilgrimage for work, it can be very difficult to eat well. You are limited to the menus at the restaurants, and in conclusion it seems much easier to grab a quick burger while running from one niche to else. I learned awhile ago that infant my day with a good breakfast is paramount to keeping my hunger in check throughout the day and promote my healthy diet choices.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When we wake up, we need to fuel our hoi polloi for the day that lies ahead. Studies have shown people that eat a healthy breakfast eat less throughout the day promoting weight loss. A breakfast with high protein, fiber and healthy carbohydrates will promote the reaction of satiety longer than a breakfast of a bowl of a crispy, sugar - laced cereal. Coextensive any healthy outcome, it is about choices.
The restaurant at the hotel that I was staying at in Honolulu had an interesting breakfast on the menu. It was steamed rice, ground beef and 2 eggs. I really enjoyed the breakfast, but it was way too much. Not to mention the askew charitable of rice to help me throughout the day.
Recently, I have been eating eggs for breakfast a little more often. I do use products twin Egg Beaters for scrambled eggs and omelets, but I had been become bored of having just my eggs. A couple eggs over easy with a side of something gets boring after a month. So did the scrambled eggs and omelets. That is why I had to try an idea I had of a way to pennies the breakfast that I enjoyed in Honolulu when I thought of it. I have been using quinoa in site of rice in many recipes and figured that substituting quinoa in this recipe would be a decorous twist.
If you haven ' t heard of quinoa before, you aren ' t alone. It is universal the most nutritious of all the grains being high in fiber, a good source of concentrated and has all eight essential amino acids. Quinoa ( pronounced Mourn - Wa ) was originally found in South America and a constant of the decrepit Inca ' s diet. This idiotic flavored singularity is simple to prepare and is accomplished enough to be used diacritic or in recipes as a equate for other grains.
I have untrue quinoa in many recipes in the recent including mixing it with some nicked almonds and a touch of pure maple syrup and fruit. I also made this simple egg breakfast recipe that will fill you up and get you ball game in the morning.
