Egg & Greens Quinoa Bowl
1 tsp Ghee
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
2 Egg
1 Garlic (Clove, minced)
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
Add the ghee and avocado oil to a small fry pan, and over low-medium heat, add the minced garlic and baby spinach. Sautee for 3-4 minutes, until wilted, then transfer to a small plate and set aside to keep warm.
Using the same pan over medium to high heat, add the 2 eggs and fry for 4-5 minutes or until cooked to your liking. You can cover the pan with a glass lid to quicken the cooking process. The glass enables you to see when the eggs are cooked.
Add the cooked quinoa to a bowl and top with the wilted spinach and fried eggs. Season with salt and black pepper to enjoy. Optional: Add a serving of kimchi for additional gut nourishment.
Benefits of Ghee: Ghee is rich in healthy fats, lactose-free, and has a high smoke point. It has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties to support gut health - Ghee has butyric acid, a fatty acid created when the good bacteria in your gut break down dietary fibre.
Quinoa: This is an excellent source of fibre and contains prebiotics - food for the good bacteria in the gut microbiome. It is also a complete protein, offering all 9 essential amino acids.
Additional Gut Nourishment: Add 1/4 cup of kimchi or sauerkraut as a side.
