Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff quinoa with a fork and stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pinch of salt.
- Divide quinoa into bowls and top with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Drizzle honey over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Tip: For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt on top before serving.
For an extra crunch, consider adding some nuts or seeds, like sliced almonds or chia seeds, to your bowl. If you’re looking to reduce sugar, you can replace the honey with a sugar-free sweetener like agave syrup.
To store leftovers, keep the quinoa and berries separate and assemble the bowls fresh each morning. You can prepare the quinoa in advance and refrigerate it for up to four days.
