Ingredients
  • ½ cup dry millet
  • 3 cups water
  • ½ cup dry amaranth
  • ½ cup dry quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 bunch kale or chard (or ½ of each)
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 large avocados
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
  1. In a pot, combine dry millet, amaranth, and quinoa, water, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then cover it and lower the heat to low so it barely simmers. Cook the mixture for 20 minutes without removing the lid and then turn off the heat.
  2. In the meantime, begin boiling water to make hard boiled eggs. I like to add my eggs to the cold water, cover the pot and turn off the heat once its boiling, and then set a timer for 9-10 minutes.
  3. Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas, and toss them with the additional 1 tablespoon olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to marinate.
  4. Thinly slice kale and/or swiss chard into ribbons after removing the stems, and add them to a bowl with the extra ¼ teaspoon salt. Use your hands to massage the greens to soften them up.
  5. Slice the carrot into matchsticks and slice the avocado.
  6. Prepare grain bowls by layering cooked grain mix and massaged greens, and topping each with a hard boiled egg, marinated chickpeas, carrot sticks, avocado slices, and sunflower seeds. Alternatively, toss together greens, chickpeas, carrots, avocado, and sunflower seeds and serve as a salad bowl with the grains and egg on top.
