Breakfast Quinoa Bowl with Almond Milk, Berries and Honey

Ingredients

• Cooked quinoa 1 cup
• Almond milk (unsweetened) 1 cup
• Mixed berries 1 cup
• Honey 1 tbsp
• Chopped almonds 1 oz

Method

1. Prepare the quinoa base. Place 1 cup (240g) of cooked quinoa into a medium bowl. If your quinoa is cold from the fridge, you can warm it slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute for a more comforting texture.
   Tip: Use cooked quinoa that is fluffy and not clumped together for the best texture.
2. Add almond milk. Pour 1 cup (240g) of unsweetened almond milk over the quinoa. Stir gently to combine. The almond milk will soften the quinoa slightly and add creaminess.
   Tip: Use unsweetened almond milk to keep added sugars low and control sweetness with honey.
3. Top with mixed berries. Add 1 cup (240g) of mixed berries on top of the quinoa and almond milk mixture. You can use fresh or thawed frozen berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
   Tip: If berries are frozen, thaw them at room temperature or microwave briefly to avoid watering down the bowl.
4. Drizzle honey. Drizzle 1 tablespoon (14g) of honey evenly over the berries and quinoa bowl. This adds natural sweetness and complements the tartness of the berries.
   Tip: Adjust honey amount to taste if you prefer it less or more sweet.
5. Sprinkle chopped almonds. Finish by sprinkling 1 oz (28.4g) of chopped almonds on top. This adds a satisfying crunch and healthy fats to the bowl.
   Tip: Lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes for extra flavor if desired.
6. Serve and enjoy. Your breakfast quinoa bowl is ready to eat! Use a spoon to mix the layers slightly if you like, or enjoy each bite with the creamy almond milk, sweet honey, fresh berries, and crunchy almonds.
   Tip: Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
