Thanks for joining me and Sarah for Meatless Monday today. The last few weeks, I have really been working on upping my protein intake. As a vegetarian, that can take some extra thought and planning. Eggs have always been a huge part of my diet and I love to find new tasty ways to incorporate them into my meals. Enter today’s Eggtastic Mediterranean Energy Bowl full of healthy, protein rich AllWhites® and plant based goodness.
Eggtastic Mediterranean Energy Bowl
I am all about the ease of Energy Bowls for meals. After a run or workout, I am looking to refuel with my body with a combination of high quality protein and carbs. Adding AllWhites® to meals is a super efficient way to make sure I am fueling body and enjoying what I am eating. (Why is protein important?)
One of the best things about this Eggtastic Mediterranean Energy Bowl is that with a little meal prep, you can have all the ingredients ready to assemble in mere minutes. Black Lentils and Farro are prepped in advance and ready to eat. When I return from my run, I can easily pour the AllWhites 100% egg whites right in a saute pan. While they are cooking, I prep the base of this tasty meal by layering Arugula, Farro and Black Lentils. I garnish with some fresh tomatoes and avocado (of course) and finish that off with a little hummus and feta cheese.
My perfectly cooked AllWhites® are ready to nestle on top of this mound of goodness. I drizzle on a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a squeeze of lemon and this Eggtastic Mediterranean Energy Bowl is ready to go. Each serving of AllWhites® has only 25 calories and no fat or cholesterol so they are a superb addition to my active vegetarian lifestyle.
It’s easy to sub out the Farro for brown rice or quinoa and that works just as well. Knowing my fridge is stocked with an easy to prepare high quality protein source makes all the difference for me when I starving after my workout. I work hard in the gym and out on the trails and I want to feel good about the foods I eat.
Based on my current activity level, I am striving to have about 90 grams of protein daily. Making my Eggtastic Mediterranean Energy Bowl with 3/4 C of AllWhites® gives me about 20 grams of pure protein. That’s a win in my book! Don’t just take my word for it.

thank you for sharing
Thanks for checking it out hope you enjoy it
I’m loving all the flavors in this bowl and I have some egg whites to use up I just need tomatoes which I can pick up and it also gives me the perfect reason to make dairy free (vegan) feta on my list!
Happy Meatless Monday!
Thanks! I am all about the power bowls lately. So easy! I’d love to hear about this vegan feta also.
Energy bowls are exactly what I need in my life right now! I’ve never tried farro but I’ll look for it when I go to the supermarket this week.
I have not forgotten that we need to chat we need to set up a phon time. I have lots of ideas for you. But yes I eat of a ton of energy bowls w eggs as the star. A great way to up your protein and they are filling. I like Farro in the winter months but you could use any grain.
No rush! Whenever you’re free works for me! I’m really focusing on making sure that I’m getting in enough protein so this is a great way to get in a lot of that early in the morning!
Yes it is for sure!
This energy bowl looks delicious! So much veggie goodness! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks so much for joining us!
You always make food look SO good! Eggs are a staple in our house…not for the vegan of course 😉
Eggs are a staple in our house too hope you try it out
I love eggs and am low on energy…totally need this in my life immediately! Looks delicious!
Eggs are a staple for me and I love to find new ways to whip them up. Hope you are feeling good this week
Gosh, this looks good! I eat a lot of eggs–they are a staple in my lunch routine but this is a new way to prepare them for me!
Oh good! Hope you like this. I love to eat them for lunch in big salads this way really fills me up
That bowl is amazing! Love the idea of meatless Mondays. I should try this one as well 🙂
Thanks! And yes I hope you do try it 🙂
Eggs are the best! I could do this for any meal of the day!
“Egg-actly”! Sorry couldn’t resist!
This sounds tasty. I would never think of putting an omelet on a salad but I like all the ingredients, so why not?
Why not indeed!? Thanks!
These bowls look so nourishing! I raise my own chickens, so I have plenty of farm fresh eggs to top this off with! Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous! Hope you enjoy it
Yum! I adore bowls like this! Colorful and amazing, not to mention a nutritional powerhouse.
Thanks! They are my go meals lately
I love me some egg whites. I use those all the time when I need to up my protein for the day but need to watch the other areas: fat/calories/cholesterol/etc. I haven’t tried farro yet but will look for it on my next trip to the whole foods type of market that we have locally. Farro was listed in my new Mediterranean Cookbook as well.
Oh good I hope you find it. They have it at my regular grocery in the healthy section. You could totally use quinoa or barley or brown rice as well
I bet these All Whites would be great just scrambled. I’d have to add some cheddar cheese, though LOL I love scrambled eggs!
I absolutely love a good scrambled egg with spinach and cheese. Have you tried using Feta it’s delish
I love the idea of an energy bowl like this one. I actually use eggs and egg whites quite a bit for my refueling.
Thanks! They are such a great and easy protein source for active people
This looks like a nice hearty bowl of flavour! This recipe looks awesome!
Very filling indeed! Thanks
That looks delicious!
Thanks so much! Very easy too
I’m a big fan of eggs for breakfast but like to eat the yolk as well. This bowl looks delicious though! You always come up with great recipes.
Well thanks so much! Yes you can definitely make it with regular eggs too
I’ve been eating plain Greek yogurt, fruit, honey, and granola in the mornings after my runs. I would love to try this and change things up! Thank you for sharing!
Those are all great protein sources too. Sometimes I want something warm and satisfying but still easy. I have a lot of variations on the bowl
Yum! I love Mediterranean flavors! This looks perfect for a quick dinner!
Thanks so much yes it’s super easy

All Whites used to be a HUGE STAPLE in my life! I would go through those cartons in 2 days! Ha! Sadly, I can’t do eggs much anymore so I have quit that habit, but I do miss them! And this makes me miss them even more!
Yes they are easy to use in everything for sure
I LOVE a good bowl packed full of yummy veggies! This sounds amazing!!

I love Mediterranean recipes and this looks like a perfect brunch recipe!
I do too! Thanks
That looks yummy! I am such a horrible prepper but I do have some farro hanging around so …
And I love the ease of egg white substitute! Cause, not a propper. 😉
Prepped! Darn autocorrect! Lol.
they are so easy to have around and use in everything
What a fantastic idea to a meatless and energy boosting monday. Love your photographs, you captured them in perfect light!
thanks so much! One of my favorite ways to refuel
Love farro… this looks great!
I do too and I forget to use it more often
I have never used a version of liquid eggs before, but I can see why they are a very convenient tool to have around for cooking. I’d love the chance to give them a try.
They do make things super easy when you are in a rush
I made something similar last week, but yours looks far more appetizing!
Ah you are too kind!
looks very tasty! i also agree that protein is very important! i usually end up refueling with kwark or yoghurt.
Yes I’ve been trying to get more protein and eggs are a great choice for me
