Maple-Walnut Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Move oatmeal to the back burner — try quinoa, a stellar source of protein and fiber. Coupled with nuts and berries, this light, healthy bowl smacks of cinnamon and syrup. Yum! 

Ingredients

1 cup prepared quinoa
¼ cup plain almond milk or water
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
½ tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup blackberries (or other fruit)

Directions

  1. Add your quinoa to a small saucepan with almond milk or water. Then mix in remainder of ingredients and heat until warm. 

  2. Consider batch cooking the quinoa ahead of time for a week’s worth of breakfasts (¼ cup dry quinoa per morning).
