Add Major Goddess Vibes to Your Morning With This Glow-Inducing Breakfast Bowl

If your idea of a healthy breakfast begins and ends with berries and oatmeal because 1) it’s quick, and 2) it checks the box for your definition of “healthy,” we’ve got a recipe that’ll totally flip the script on how you view your first meal of the day.

This Green Goddess Breakfast Bowl from The Well+Good Cookbook—available for preorder right now—is a veggie-loaded take on the traditional porridge brekky. And you can batch cook the nutty quinoa ahead of time for meal-prep magic.

Madeleine Murphy, co-founder of Montauk Juice Factory and The End Brooklyn (yes, the place with the unicorn lattes), created the recipe when she noticed that her usual grab-and-go breakfasts just weren’t sustaining her through her hectic mornings.

“As a busy entrepreneur, I’ve always known that a good breakfast is key to being able to feel aligned for a positive, successful day,” Murphy says. “What I love about this sort of non-traditional breakfast bowl is that it’s savory, filling—and I can do a lot of the prep the night before.”

With this vegan and gluten-free breakfast, “you’ll start your day nourished, energized, light, and glowing—the way every goddess should!” says Murphy. A lot of props go to her Green Goddess Dressing, which ties the dish together and is brimming with ingredients the certified health coach says are known for hormone-balancing powers like avocado and flax.
