Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)

1 banana, sliced

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

A sprinkle of cinnamon

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and almond milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using). Mix well until fully combined and creamy.

      Build Your Bowl: Divide the quinoa-yogurt mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced bananas, mixed berries, and chopped nuts.

        Add Sweetness and Flavor: Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if desired. Sprinkle with cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty, nutritious breakfast!
