    Quinoa Breakfast Bowl with Berries

    Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

    If you need to change up your breakfast routine and want something healthy, then a quinoa breakfast bowl is for you.

    Cooked quinoa makes a great stand-in for cereal or oats. It's packed with protein, fiber, and good carbohydrates to give you the energy to get through your morning.

    A batch of plain cooked quinoa keeps for about 5 days in the refrigerator, so whip up a batch on Sunday to have quick breakfasts all week long.

    Why Quinoa for Breakfast?

    A seed that cooks like a grain, quinoa is one of the most versatile ingredients in your kitchen.

    Quinoa makes a great substitute for cooked rice or grains in just about any savory dish, but you might not know that it’s great in sweet preparations, too. This quinoa breakfast bowl makes a great, simple, healthy breakfast when you’re trying to avoid grains and/or boost your protein intake in the morning.

    If your quinoa is already cooked, this breakfast comes together as fast as pouring a bowl of cereal.

    Quinoa Breakfast Bowl Ingredients

    I like to keep my quinoa breakfast bowls pretty simple with ingredients I can just grab out of the refrigerator.

    Cooked Quinoa:

    Learn how to cook perfectly fluffy quinoa over on this post (there's a video that shows you the trick, too!).

    Plant-Based Milk:

    I prefer unsweetened almond milk here. Use whatever milk works for you—I suggest always using unsweetened plant-based milk to keep the sugar content low.

    Berries or Other Fruit:

    This is where you can make it your own! I love it with berries and a little finely chopped apple. Use any in-season fruit that's a good price. Frozen berries also work great, too.

    Natural Sweetness & Flavor:

    A drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon make this berry quinoa breakfast bowl a winner every time. I prefer raw honey or maple syrup, or choose a natural sweetener that you like best (read about the top 5 best natural sweeteners here).

    Optional: Nuts or Seeds

    Add a few teaspoons of chopped nuts or seeds to add even more fiber and healthy fat to your quinoa breakfast bowl. I like to add a teaspoon of hemp seeds on top of mine.

    Description

    A seed that cooks like a grain, cooked quinoa is one of the most versatile ingredients in your kitchen. It makes a great substitute for cooked rice or grains in just about any savory dish, but you might not know that it’s great in sweet preparations, too. This breakfast bowl makes a great, simple, healthy breakfast when you’re trying to avoid grains and/or boost your protein intake in the morning. This recipe comes together in seconds if your quinoa is already cooked. Allot 20 minutes to cook the quinoa if needed.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • ½ cup cooked quinoa
    • Sprinkle of cinnamon
    • Nondairy milk of your choice, such as almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk
    • ⅓ cup berries
    • 1 teaspoon chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds (or a combo of all 3)
    • 1 teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup, optional

    Instructions

    Place the quinoa in a bowl, sprinkle with cinnamon, then top with non-dairy milk. Add the berries, sprinkle the seeds over, and top with honey or real maple syrup, if desired.


    Notes

    Tip: cook a batch of quinoa at the beginning of the week for easy breakfast bowls. Cooked quinoa lasts for about 5 days in the refrigerator.
