Finish with a dash of everything bagel seasoning, if you please (we do)! 04 of 12 Hot Grains Power Bowl View Recipe Andy Lyons From afar, it would be easy to mistake this recipe for a plain bowl of oatmeal, but it's got so much more than that hiding in every bite.

Before cooking the eggs, sauté the spinach and tomatoes for just a minute to wilt the spinach slightly and soften the tomatoes. Top the finished dish with grated Parmesan cheese. To round out the meal, serve the breakfast bowl with avocado toast for a healthy dose of carbs and fat. 4 Must-Try Fast and Healthy Avocado Toast Recipes 08 of 12 Berry-Coconut Smoothie Bowl View Recipe Adam Albright Sure, a 30-minute breakfast recipe is good, but how about a 3-minute breakfast bowl?
