Breakfast Berry Quinoa Bowls
This breakfast quinoa berry bowl is a sweet twist on a typically savory dish. It's made by infusing the quinoa with honey and vanilla, then adding sweet berries, nut butter, and Greek yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 1 2/3 cups milk of choice, I use coconut milk
- 2 Tbsps raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings for the bowls:
- plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- fresh berries of choice
- nut butter or seed butter of choice
Instructions
- Place your rinsed quinoa in a small saucepan then add the milk, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla.
- Bring to a boil while stirring to combine ingredients, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, remove from heat and allow your quinoa to absorb all the liquid, for about 5 minutes covered in the pan.
- Divide your cooked quinoa equally among your serving bowls and top as desired with yogurt, strawberries, and a drizzle of nut butter.
