# How To Make It:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook diced onion and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
02 - Whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Pour egg mixture into the skillet with vegetables, stirring gently until just set and cooked through.
03 - Stir cooked sausage and black beans into the egg and vegetable mixture. Remove from heat.
04 - Divide cooked quinoa or rice evenly among four freezer-safe containers. Top each bowl with equal portions of the egg and protein mixture. Sprinkle with cheese if using.
05 - Allow bowls to cool completely to room temperature. Seal containers, label with date, and freeze for up to 2 months.
06 - Reheat in microwave until hot—2-3 minutes from thawed or 4-5 minutes from frozen. Top with fresh avocado and salsa before serving.
