We wanted something versatile yet satisfying. A meal that could keep us energized through mid-morning meetings, post-workout recoveries, or those long commutes. After experimenting with countless combinations, we found the perfect blend: protein-rich eggs, nutrient-dense quinoa, creamy avocado, and vibrant veggies. Not only is this bowl ridiculously easy to make, but it also feels like a little victory—a nutritious start that sets the tone for the rest of your day.
