Ingredients

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 banana, sliced

½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed.

      Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

        In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with vanilla extract, cinnamon, and half of the maple syrup. Stir until well combined.

          Divide the quinoa into serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced banana, blueberries, walnuts, chia seeds, and drizzle the remaining maple syrup over the top.

            Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed breakfast!
