I know this may seem unconventional, but this is one of my very favorite breakfasts! I make a giant batch of Roasted Brussels Sprouts, quinoa, and lentils and eat this all week. It is a super satisfying and filling meal that lasts me until my next meal (much more than I can say for most “conventional” breakfasts). It takes no time to make each morning since it it is already prepared and keeps for at least a week. This also makes a great to-go lunch!
I love to use Trader Joes precooked Steamed Lentils. They are much easier than making your own, and for some reason I think they taste a lot better than I have managed to make them myself. I know beans and lentils are super easy to prepare, but somehow the effort of remembering ahead of time to make a batch since they take so long just feels insurmountable most times.
I also love to make quinoa in a Rice Cooker, since it means I can set it and forget it and I don’t have to tend to it. I’m sure you could also cook quinoa in an Instant Pot if you have one since they have a rice cooker function, but I haven’t ventured to get one of those, yet.
