"The avocado binge rolls on - This recipe is the result of another one of my "recipe combos". I saw an article at realsimpledotcom that featured 10 "oatmeal upgrades". I like oatmeal & 2 of their recipes got my attention, so I stayed in "twissis mode" & combined them to form "Breakfast in a Bowl" w/2 finishing touch options. Check those options by reading my notes at the end of the Prep Steps. Make your choice & then ENJOY!"

- Substitute cooked quinoa for oats - Quinoa is a great source of protein and fiber, and can be a healthier alternative to oats.
- Substitute cooked turkey bacon for regular bacon - Turkey bacon is a leaner option than regular bacon, and can provide a more balanced meal.
