Breakfast quinoa with berries

Start your day with a nutritious and flavorful breakfast quinoa with berries. This hearty dish combines the protein-packed quinoa with the delightful flavors of berries, creamy Greek yogurt, and crunchy pistachios, making it both satisfying and delicious.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup quinoa
170g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/3 cup cranberry juice
72g
1/3 cup greek yogurt
80g
1 tsp pistachio nuts
5g

Instructions:

1. Rinse Quinoa:
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve under cold running water to remove any bitterness. This step is important to ensure the best flavor for your breakfast quinoa.
2. Cook Quinoa:
In a medium-sized pot, add the rinsed quinoa along with 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Add Cinnamon:
Once boiling, add the cinnamon to the pot. Stir well to distribute the cinnamon evenly.
4. Simmer:
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the quinoa simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
5. Fluff Quinoa:
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for about 5 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
6. Add Cranberry Juice:
Pour 1/3 cup of cranberry juice over the cooked quinoa and stir well to combine. The cranberry juice will add a nice tangy flavor and some natural sweetness to the dish.
7. Serve:
Divide the quinoa into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
8. Add Pistachios:
Sprinkle 1 tsp of pistachio nuts over each serving for some added crunch and nutty flavor.
9. Optional Toppings:
For extra flavor and nutrition, you can add fresh berries of your choice such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries. If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the top.
10. Enjoy:
Serve your breakfast quinoa warm and enjoy a nutritious and delicious start to your day!

Tips:

- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitterness.

- Use fresh or frozen berries according to your preference and availability.

- For added sweetness, drizzle with a bit of honey or maple syrup.

- Toast the pistachio nuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and crunch.

- Experiment with different types of yogurt such as flavored or plant-based options.

Enjoy a bowl of breakfast quinoa with berries and pistachio as a wholesome start to your morning. This nutrient-rich meal will keep you energized and satisfied, ready to take on the day ahead.
