Prepare Ingredients.
Make sure your quinoa is already cooked and cooled. Pit the fresh cherries by removing their stems and seeds, then chop the almonds into small pieces if not pre-chopped.
Tip: To pit cherries easily, use a small knife or a cherry pitter if you have one. -
Combine Quinoa and Milk.
In a medium-sized bowl, add 1 cup of cooked quinoa and pour in 1/2 cup of skim milk. Stir gently to combine. The milk will add creaminess to the bowl.
Tip: Use skim milk chilled for a refreshing taste or slightly warmed if you prefer a warm bowl. -
Add Almonds and Cherries.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped almonds and 1/2 cup of pitted fresh cherries over the quinoa and milk mixture. These add texture, flavor, and nutrition.
Tip: If you like, toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding for extra crunch and flavor. -
Sweeten with Honey.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey on top of your bowl to add natural sweetness. Stir gently if you want the honey mixed throughout or leave it on top for a sweet finish.
Tip: Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer less or more sweetness. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Your Breakfast Quinoa Bowl with Almonds and Cherries is ready to eat! Enjoy immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Tip: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh mint leaves for extra flavor if desired.
