A poached egg is just the cherry on top of fresh mushrooms, kale, grape tomatoes, and cannellini beans. It's all of your favorite omelet ingredients served bowl-style.

Salad for breakfast? We know it sounds wild, but hear us out. While this recipe is filled with all the usual salad suspects, such as mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and avocado, it also adds a few twists to your traditional bowl of lettuce, making it one of our favorite healthy breakfast bowls. Fresh blueberries, bagel croutons, and a runny poached egg on top push this salad bowl firmly into breakfast territory. Finish with a dash of everything bagel seasoning, if you please (we do)!

Instead of making an egg-white omelet, scramble your eggs and serve them with your usual omelet add-ins, like fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. 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.
