Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 banana
- 0.5 cup strawberries
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.25 cup almonds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 mint leaves
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed the water.
While the quinoa is cooking, slice 1 banana and hull and quarter 0.5 cup of strawberries.
Once the quinoa is cooked, remove it from the heat, keep covered, and let it stand for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the quinoa with a fork.
Divide the cooked quinoa evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with 0.5 cup of plain Greek yogurt.
Arrange the sliced banana, 0.5 cup of strawberries, and 0.5 cup of blueberries over the yogurt in each bowl.
Sprinkle 0.25 cup of almonds and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds over the top.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey equally over both bowls.
Garnish each bowl with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Serve immediately for a fresh and wholesome breakfast experience.
