Jump start your mornings with the healthiest, filling breakfast ever! Loaded with brown rice, avocado, eggs and kale.
Breakfast for sure is my favourite meal of the day.
Not only that, it’s also the most important meal of the day.
Fueling your body and mind is essential to cope with the busy day ahead. The right foods help you focus mentally and stay energized physically.
And this particular breakfast bowl is so simple to make.
- The eggs can be prepared to your liking. My favourite (and most healthy) are poached eggs. Eggs provide a ton of great nutrients and protein.
- The brown rice can be prepared in a large batch ready for the week prior to breakfast. Brown rice provides your good carbs and fiber. These carbs will keep your energy up throughout the day.
- The kale provides a dose of daily greens and vitamins. Sautéing the kale with garlic and optional red pepper flakes gives it an amazing flavoring which compliments the eggs and rice. You can also swap out the kale for roasted brussels sprouts, butternut squash or peas.
- The avocado provides you your good fats which can help lower the bad cholesterol in your body and help aid your skin and hair.
Sounds like a winning breakfast to me – energized with great skin and hair!

Is this meant to be eaten cold?
I love this idea for breakfast. This is something that I would have never thought to put together for breakfast
This looks a great energizing breakfast/ brunch to get anyone through their workday. I can’t wait to try this
I found the recipe really easy to make. I had a lot of fun making it and was very excited to taste it. I supplemented the brown rice with Quinoa as I like it better and have at hand. The kale went great with the suggested ingredients I’m sure it would have tasted better with the red peppers but I didn’t have time to chop it up (8 month old baby crying). Love this recipe!! So yummy.
Hi, do you know how many calories are in one serving (container)?
Nutritional information is provided only for select recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe like this one, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information. Hope that helps!
Any suggestions on how to keep left over rice moist? I find i have to choke it down when eating it over the next few days. Thank you for another great, useable meal idea. They’re a godsend.
A quick 30-45 second reheat in the microwave should do the trick!
Try putting a teaspoon or two of water on the rice before you reheat in the microwave.
Wow this looks really delicious! How long does it take to prepare?
Prep time is about 20 minutes.

What’s your experience with the durability of these containers?
Love them – they last a few uses at least.
Looks good! I just started eating healthy & am looking around the internet for easy recipes for a beginner 🙂 Glad I found your blog! So many variations of recipes! Thank You!
This looks wonderful! But any suggestions if I want to replace the rice with something lighter?

You can omit or substitute with quinoa, barley, etc.
It looks very good, but kind of dry! I love the ingredients though!
Can you make this ahead with the avocado? I would think it would not hold well. Looks fantastic, but the avocado is a concern. Thanks for lots of wonderful recipes.
You can always add the avocado prior to serving.
Why would you put this in meal prep containers? Are you refrigerating them for later use? If so, do you eat it cold (fine for the eggs and avocado, not so great for the kale) or would you heat this in a microwave (great for the kale, maybe not so great for the egg and avocado)?
Yes, you can refrigerate and reheat as needed.
Hi! This looks delicious. Do you recommend squirting lemon juice on the avocado slices to prevent them from oxidizing? Thanks!
Yes!
Whenever I squeeze lime juice/lemon juice on my avocado even then it only stays fresh for about 24 hours. How does it stay un-brown?
You can always add the avocado prior to serving.
