Start your day with a nutrient-packed quinoa superfood breakfast bowl that's both delicious and nutritious. This recipe combines the goodness of quinoa, fruits, and healthy fats to offer a well-rounded breakfast that will keep you energized throughout the morning.
Instructions:
- Place 1/2 cup of quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for about 30 seconds. This removes the natural coating, saponin, which can make it taste bitter.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 1 cup of water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then 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.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork before serving.
- While the quinoa is cooking, slice the bananas. Set aside the blueberries as they are already ready to use.
- Divide the cooked quinoa into two serving bowls.
- Pour 1/4 cup of almond milk over each portion of quinoa.
- Arrange banana slices and blueberries on top of the quinoa.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of almond butter over each bowl. If the almond butter is too thick, you can warm it slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
- Your nutrient-packed quinoa superfood breakfast bowl is ready to enjoy! Feel free to add any additional toppings you love, such as chia seeds, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitter-tasting saponins from its outer layer.
- For added flavor, consider cooking the quinoa in almond milk instead of water.
- Use fresh and ripe bananas and blueberries for the best taste and texture.
- Feel free to customize the bowl by adding other superfoods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or coconut flakes.
- Prepare extra quinoa ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a quick breakfast option during busy mornings.
Enjoy your nutrient-packed quinoa superfood breakfast bowl as a hearty and wholesome start to your day. This nourishing meal is not only easy to prepare but also customizable to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs. Eat well and stay energized!
