Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups quinoa
- 1 cups water
- 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based)
- 1 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- 0.5 sliced banana
- 1 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1 teaspoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove its natural bitterness.
In a small pot, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, plant-based vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon to the quinoa. Stir well to combine until the mixture is evenly coated and creamy.
Transfer the protein-infused quinoa mixture to a serving bowl as the base of your breakfast bowl.
Top the quinoa with fresh berries, sliced banana, a dollop of almond butter, toasted pumpkin seeds, and optional shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy a wholesome, high-protein breakfast to start your day off right!
