This Avocado Kale Hummus Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl is filling and packed with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. I favor savory breakfasts over sweets in the morning, and find it interesting that in many countries outside of the United States, that breakfast is normally savory. Breakfast is often eaten 12-14 hours after dinner, so it’s important to eat something nutrient-rich, rather than foods that are nutrient-poor and provide empty calories.
I have to admit I’m not a huge sweet oatmeal fan. I’d much rather enjoy a savory bowl of oatmeal. Perhaps, my familiarity with congee, the Chinese breakfast rice porridge, influences this preference. This savory avocado kale hummus oatmeal breakfast bowl is a nod to favorite part about congee – all the savory toppings that make it fun to eat.
Nutritional yeast bumps up the B vitamins in this avocado kale oatmeal breakfast bowl, and the kale packs in lots of vitamins and minerals. I love poached egg on top of savory oatmeal, with the runny yolk blending into the oatmeal to loosen it. Hummus and avocado add some natural creaminess, toasted sesame seeds add a little crunch, and Spanish smoked paprika provides some smokiness and color to the final dish.
