Breakfast Power Bowl
Filling, savory, and one of the easiest things you could make, this Breakfast Power Bowl has got it all. The protein and healthy fats will keep you satiated and less hungry throughout the day.
And if losing weight is your thing, I had a variation of this for breakfast almost every day last week, and it helped me lose 3.5 pounds my first week back on plan!
Delicious Savory Breakfast Bowl
When you think of healthy breakfast bowls, you might think of sweet options like almond milk and chia seeds or yogurt with fresh fruit. But this breakfast power bowl takes a savory, high-protein twist, making it perfect for those who prefer a hearty breakfast.
Cottage cheese makes the perfect high-protein base, while the boiled eggs and avocado provide extra protein and healthy fats. Topped with red onions, cilantro, and my favorite Truff Hot Sauce for some explosive flavor, this tasty bowl will become your most important meal of the day… as in, you’ll actually look forward to making it every morning because it’s just that good.
Whether you need to stay on track for weight loss goals or simply want to start your day with a satisfying low-carb meal that will keep you full for hours, breakfast time just got way better.

Breakfast Power Bowl with Simple Ingredients
(Note: These are the recipe’s starring ingredients, but you can find all the ingredients in the recipe card below!)
- Eggs: I like Vital Farms eggs from Whole Foods as they are pasture-raised. Any eggs will do, though!
- Cottage cheese: My fav is Good Culture cottage cheese. A higher-quality cottage cheese like this really makes a difference in taste.
- Avocado: Adds that layer of creaminess and, of course, healthy fats.
- Red onion: A little onion goes a long way in terms of flavor!
- Truffle hot sauce: The perfect way to give this delicious recipe an extra kick of heat and flavor. I love Truff Hot Sauce, but I also frequent Sora’s Velvet Volcano sauce (non truffle).
- Chile lime seasoning: A go-to seasoning of mine. I usually get it from Trader Joe’s.
- Everything bagel seasoning: Another Trader Joe’s staple in my kitchen. It adds all kinds of yummy salt, garlic, and onion flavor.
Ingredient Swaps & Additions
Not all of us like the same breakfast every day, which is why I love to switch this recipe up with lots of other tasty ingredients. It’s honestly so fun to dream up a new version of this every morning! Here are some ideas:
- Cherry tomatoes: For that burst of juicy flavor.
- Cucumbers: I love adding a crisp, refreshing texture to my breakfast bowl.
- Jalapeños: For some added heat.
- Bacon: Adds a savory, salty touch.
- Green onions: Adds a light, springy flavor to the mix.
- Nuts and seeds: Gives a dose of protein and some nutty flavor. I like Wonderful Roasted & Salted Pistachios, hemp seeds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds.
- Lemon juice: For a zesty twist.
How to Make a Breakfast Power Bowl
The steps are simple, and I’m outlining them below, but be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to view the full, printable recipe card. You can also watch how it comes together in my Instagram reel!
STEP 1 – BOIL EGGS
Start by making your medium-boiled eggs. I bring a pot of water to a boil, then drop eggs in right out of the fridge for 8 minutes and 25 seconds.
Pro tip: If you want hard-boiled eggs, go a few seconds longer. If you want it more jammy, go with 7.5 minutes or so.
When they’re done, bring them out of the hot water and drop them into an ice bath for a few seconds to cool down.
STEP 2 – ADD COTTAGE CHEESE
Grab your favorite bowl and add 1 serving of cottage cheese as the layer. If you don’t like the curds, you can always process the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor for a creamy, curd-less spin.
STEP 3 – ADD EGGS & AVOCADO
Next, remove your eggs from the ice bath, remove the shell, slice into your favorite shape, and add them on top.
Slice half an avocado (65g or so) and add to the bowl.
STEP 4 – ADD TOPPINGS
Finally, add some lower calorie flavorful additions. I like to add fresh cilantro, some super finely diced red onion, and lots of truffle hot sauce. You can add whatever you like. Fresh veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes, and jalapeños would be great here, too.
Finish everyhing off with some Chile lime seasoning and everything bagel seasoning.
ENJOY!
FAQ
If you’re not a fan of the texture, give it a blend! Otherwise, you could use a thick Greek yogurt or labneh as a substitute.
If you need a more in-depth tutorial for jammy eggs, check out our recipe for How to Make Jammy Eggs. The key is to find the right boil time for how firm or runny you like your egg yolks. You also always want to stick your eggs in an ice bath so that they stop cooking and don’t get overdone.
