Lentil Breakfast Bowl

Published on June 4, 2021 by Stephanie Kay

Jump to Recipe

Although lentils may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of breakfast, they are a great source of vegetarian protein to start the day, and this quick and easy protein-packed lentil breakfast bowl is a great way to do it.

Lentils for Breakfast

This recipe calls for Puy lentils specifically, because I think they have the best texture, however, green or brown lentils would work just as well. To help cut down on prep time, I recommend cooking the lentils ahead of time so all you need to do is cook the kale and fry an egg in the morning. If you’re not a fan of lentils, feel free to use rice or quinoa instead.
