Quick Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

A healthy, customizable, and delicious breakfast option packed with protein, fresh fruit, and crunchy nuts. Perfect for busy mornings!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa

  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

  • 1/4 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts or seeds (like almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds)

  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, shredded coconut, or nut butter

Instructions:

Prepare Quinoa: If you haven't cooked the quinoa yet, rinse 1/2 cup of dry quinoa under cold water. Combine it with 1 cup of water in a saucepan, bring it to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the almond milk, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup if using. Stir well to combine.

Top the Bowl: Add your mixed berries and sprinkle on your choice of chopped nuts or seeds. If desired, add additional toppings like banana slices, shredded coconut, or a tablespoon of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrition.

Serve: Enjoy your Quick Quinoa Bowl warm or cold as a healthy breakfast!
