Instructions
Creating your Quinoa Breakfast Bowl is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Prepare Quinoa: If not using pre-cooked quinoa, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
2. Gather Ingredients: Once your quinoa is ready, gather all your ingredients. This includes sliced banana, blueberries, chopped strawberries, nuts, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and almond milk.
3. Mix Quinoa and Milk: In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with a splash of almond milk. This helps keep the quinoa moist and creamy.
4. Top with Fruits: Layer the sliced banana, blueberries, and strawberries on top of the quinoa mixture.
5. Add Nuts and Seeds: Sprinkle the chopped nuts and chia seeds over the fruits to add crunch and additional nutrients.
6. Drizzle Sweetener: If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness.
7. Sprinkle Cinnamon: Finish off by sprinkling cinnamon on top for an aromatic touch.
