Start your day with a nutritious and flavorful breakfast quinoa with berries and pistachio. 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:
Instructions:
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.
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.
Once boiling, add the cinnamon to the pot. Stir well to distribute the cinnamon evenly.
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.
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for about 5 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
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.
Divide the quinoa into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of pistachio nuts over each serving for some added crunch and nutty flavor.
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.
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.
