Berry-pecan quinoa bowl with honey almond milk

The Berry-Pecan Quinoa Bowl with Honey Almond Milk is a delightful and nutritious breakfast option. Packed with protein from quinoa and healthy fats from pecans, this recipe is perfect for those looking to start their day with a balanced meal. The natural sweetness of blueberries and honey makes this bowl not only wholesome but also incredibly delicious.

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
170g
1 cup water
240g
1 cup almond milk
240g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tbsp honey
20g
1/2 cup blueberries
77g
1/4 cup pecans
27g

Instructions:

1. Rinse the Quinoa: Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps remove the natural coating, called saponin, which can make quinoa taste bitter or soapy.
2. Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water, a dash of salt, and ½ cup of the almond milk (120g). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
3. Add Honey and Almond Milk: Once the quinoa is fully cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the remaining ½ cup of almond milk (120g) and 1 tablespoon of honey until well combined. This adds a creamy texture and natural sweetness to the quinoa.
4. Prepare the Toppings: While the quinoa is absorbing the flavors, roughly chop the pecans. If desired, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant.
5. Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the warm quinoa into serving bowls. Top each bowl with ½ cup of fresh blueberries and ¼ cup of chopped pecans.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Berry-Pecan Quinoa Bowl immediately while it’s warm. Enjoy as a hearty and nutritious breakfast or satisfying snack!

Tips:

- To enhance the nutty flavor of quinoa, you can toast it in a dry skillet for a few minutes before cooking.

- Rinse the quinoa under cold water before cooking to remove any bitterness from its natural coating, called saponin.

- For a creamier texture, you can simmer the quinoa in just almond milk instead of a mix of almond milk and water.

- If you prefer a sweeter bowl, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few extra honey drizzles on top.

- Feel free to substitute the blueberries with any other fresh berries or fruits of your choice, such as strawberries or raspberries.

This Berry-Pecan Quinoa Bowl with Honey Almond Milk is a versatile and easy-to-make dish that combines wholesome ingredients into a nourishing meal.
