Variations and Substitutions
The wonderful thing about bowls whether they are lunch bowls, meal prep bowls, or breakfast bowls like this one, is they are completely customizable! Here are some ideas for how you can make this smoked salmon breakfast bowl how you like it:
Eggs: Cook your eggs how you like them. Scrambled, sunny side up, poached, hard boiled are a few choices.
Protein: The high protein content in this breakfast bowl is part of what helps you stay full longer. If you want to change things up, you can substitute the salmon and/or the eggs for chicken, turkey, fish, tempeh, tofu, edamame or beans.
Grain: Can be left out entirely like I did in this bowl for grain free option or to make a lower carb meal. Could also add quinoa, brown rice or diced, cooked sweet potato.
Greens: Instead of arugula or rocket, try kale, baby spinach, mixed, romaine, or other leafy greens
Veggies: This salmon bowl is great with fresh veggies or roasted. I really like to add roasted cauliflower or broccoli sometimes. In reality, any vegetables you have on hand are perfect for a breakfast bowl.
Beans: Adding beans is optional, but really increases the nutrient levels in these salmon bowls. 2 Tablespoons of your choice of cooked/rinsed beans would be my suggestion.
Fat: We all need more healthy fats in our diets. The avocado, salmon and eggs are a great source but you could also get them from feta cheese, hummus, or homemade dressing made with extra virgin olive oil.
How to make Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bowls
Step 1. Cook the eggs how you like them in 1 tsp of healthy oil unless poaching or hard boiling.
Step 2. Chop the fresh vegetables. If you have chosen a cooked vegetable, cook those now.
Step 3. Assemble the bowls by first laying down a bed of fresh arugula, then adding the additional ingredients in sections on top.
Step 4. Finish this bowl off with a bit of salt and pepper to taste and a healthy squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice.
Enjoy!
