Start your day off right with this Quinoa Breakfast Scramble!

I don’t know about you, but how I start my day sets the tone for the rest of the day.

If I eat a healthy breakfast, I will typically follow up with a healthy lunch and dinner.

On the other hand, if I grab something unhealthy first thing, I usually stay off-track the rest of the day.

For me, a healthy breakfast is one packed with protein.  If I felt good eating a bagel or pancakes every day, I totally would.

Because I love my carbs a little more than I should.

Unfortunately, a high-carb breakfast just doesn’t work for me.  (Unless I want to set myself up to spend the entire day snacking. Mindlessly.)

This happened just last week when the boys begged me for donuts.  Despite my better judgment, I decided to indulge.

Let me tell you, the rest of the day was not pretty guys.  (Thank God it is hard to do too much damage in a single day.)

My perfect breakfast looks something like today’s Quinoa Breakfast Scramble brought to us from Lena at Root and Blossom.  This is one of the best Quinoa and Egg Breakfast recipes that I’ve found.

And bonus points – it is SO simple.  Because unless it is a holiday, who has time for something fussy in the morning?!  I’ve got enough going on just trying to tame the kids and get everyone fed to bother with anything more than easy breakfast recipes.  (And I’m guessing you are the same!)

I think you will agree with me that Lena makes the simple recipe thing look delicious!
