Huma’s Bowl Of Happiness

We of course love Huma Qureshi here, right from her role in Gangs of Wasseypur to her recent turn in Monica, My Darling. What we also like about her is that she is an advocate for a healthy lifestyle and often shares her workout routines and healthy eating habits on social media, in addition to being a bigger advocate for body positivity.  

One of her go-to breakfast ideas is the breakfast bowl, a quick and easy way to pack in a nutritious start to the day. Breakfast bowls are a great way to get a balanced mix of protein, carbs, and healthy fats in one meal. They are also easy to customize based on your dietary preferences and the ingredients you have on hand. Here are three great breakfast bowl recipes that are easy to make at home: 

1.    Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl

Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and can be paired with a variety of toppings to create a delicious breakfast bowl. Huma's version includes granola, mixed berries, and a drizzle of honey. 

To make this bowl, start with a base of plain Greek yogurt. Top with a handful of granola (store-bought or homemade), a handful of mixed berries, and a drizzle of honey. If you want to add some extra healthy fats, you could also sprinkle on some chopped nuts or a tablespoon of chia seeds. 

2.    Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Quinoa is a great alternative to traditional breakfast grains like oats or cereal. It's a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, and is also high in fiber and other nutrients. Huma's quinoa breakfast bowl is topped with avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a soft-boiled egg. 

To make this bowl, cook 1/2 cup of quinoa according to the package directions. While the quinoa is cooking, slice half an avocado and chop a handful of cherry tomatoes. Once the quinoa is cooked, place it in a bowl and top with the sliced avocado and cherry tomatoes. Finally, add a soft-boiled egg to the top of the bowl. To make a soft-boiled egg, bring a small pot of water to a boil, then carefully lower an egg into the water and let it cook for 6 minutes. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process. 

3.    Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls are a fun and colorful way to start the day. They're essentially a thicker version of a regular smoothie, served in a bowl and topped with a variety of toppings. Huma's smoothie bowl recipe includes frozen berries, banana, spinach, and almond milk. 

To make this bowl, start by blending 1/2 cup of frozen berries, 1/2 a banana, a handful of spinach, and 1/2 cup of almond milk in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. Huma's toppings include sliced banana, sliced almonds, and a drizzle of honey. 

Breakfast bowls are a quick and easy way to get a nutritious start to the day. They can be customized with a variety of ingredients, making them a versatile option for any taste preference or dietary restriction. The recipes shared above are just a few examples of the endless possibilities when it comes to breakfast bowls. With a little creativity, you can make a breakfast bowl that is both delicious and healthy. 

In addition to being easy to make, breakfast bowls are also a great option for busy mornings. You can prepare most of the ingredients in advance, then simply assemble the bowl in the morning. This means you can have a nutritious breakfast even if you're short on time. 

Huma Qureshi's love for breakfast bowls is just one example of how celebrities can inspire healthy habits in their fans. By sharing her favorite recipes and fitness routines, she encourages others to prioritize health and wellness over mere appearance. Go girl!
