Here's another recipe from FMTV.  This is by far my favorite vegan Sunday breakfast especially if you use my Curried Quinoa recipe with this. 
Ingredients:
  • ​1 avocado, peeled, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • Handful of cilantro (coriander)
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • Sea salt to taste
Greens:
  • ​1 handful kale
  • 1 handful spinach or chard
  • 1 handful soft herbs (parsley, mint, basil, etc.)
  • Coconut oil or butter for frying
Serve with:
  • ​1 cup cooked quinoa
  • ​Optional: Poached free-range egg
Method:
  1. ​Heat a small amount of coconut oil or butter in the pan and toss in the greens.
  2. Sauté on a medium heat until soft.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the avocado, onion, cilantro, cayenne, lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Toss the cooked quinoa in with the greens to heat slightly.
  5. To serve, place the greens and quinoa mix on the plate and top with the smashed avocado.
Health Benefits:
​Protein, healthy fats and slow-releasing carbohydrates make for an excellent breakfast, sustain you through your morning with energy and nutrients to support your daily activities.  Quinoa is a slow-releasing carbohydrates, so it won't spike your blood sugars, but it's also a complete protein source - making it a great vegan or vegetarian option to ensure you're getting all the essential amino acids  to repair and build proteins in the body.  Avocado is also an incredible source of vitamins, fiber and healthy fats, which will help to keep you full and your skin glowing!
