Breakfast bowls are the new green juice: they've become an in-demand menu item for the post-yoga, post-spin class set, despite some eyebrow raising prices for what boils down to a pretty simple breakfast. Why spend all of that money on something you can easily make at home? This hearty, gluten-free bowl takes just minutes to throw together and is absolutely delicious.

Sweet blueberries and tart lemon pair well in this alternative to oatmeal. High in protein and fiber, quinoa is a great start to your day! I made this up one morning when I had a craving for quinoa and was looking for a change from the usual. Top with extra milk for a thinner consistency. Also good with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup quinoa
2 cups nonfat milk
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons maple syrup
½ lemon, zested
1 cup blueberries
2 teaspoons flax seed

Steps:

  • Rinse quinoa in a fine strainer with cold water to remove bitterness until water runs clear and is no longer frothy.
  • Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir quinoa and salt into the milk; simmer over medium-low heat until much of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir maple syrup and lemon zest into the quinoa mixture. Gently fold blueberries into the mixture.
  • Divide quinoa mixture between 2 bowls; top each with 1 teaspoon flax seed to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh berries: Fresh berries will give your quinoa breakfast bowl the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh berries on hand, you can use frozen berries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. Quinoa is a quick-cooking grain, and it usually takes about 15 minutes to cook. Be sure to rinse the quinoa before cooking to remove any bitterness.
  • Sweeten the quinoa with honey or maple syrup. If you like your quinoa breakfast bowl a little sweeter, you can add some honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also add other sweeteners, such as agave nectar or brown sugar.
  • Add nuts and seeds for extra crunch. Nuts and seeds will add extra crunch and flavor to your quinoa breakfast bowl. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Top with yogurt or milk. Yogurt or milk will add creaminess and richness to your quinoa breakfast bowl. You can use any type of yogurt or milk that you like, but Greek yogurt or almond milk are good options.

Conclusion:

Berry Breakfast Quinoa is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It's packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and it's also very versatile. You can customize it to your own liking by adding different fruits, nuts, and seeds. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast option, give Berry Breakfast Quinoa a try.
