Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water has absorbed.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
  4. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it into serving bowls. Pour the almond milk mixture over the quinoa.
  5. Top each bowl with slices of banana, strawberries, and blueberries.
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds, pepitas, or your favorite nuts for a crunch.
  7. For the final touch, warm the almond milk and drizzle it over the top of your berry quinoa breakfast bowls.

Notes

  • Substitute almond milk with your favorite plant-based milk.
  • Adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup.
  • Add Greek yogurt or nut butter for extra protein.
  • Store cooked quinoa in the fridge for up to 5 days.
