Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or any other nut milk of your choice
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen) or apple cubes
- 1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon powder (or vanilla extract, all spice, nutmeg, etc)
- 1/8 cup almonds chopped (or other nuts of your choice such as cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, etc)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut yogurt (optional) (I used homemade coconut yogurt)
Instructions
- Rinse quinoa. Bring quinoa in almond milk to a boil, reduce heat and gently simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add cinnamon and simmer until the milk is fully absorbed.
- Top with fresh berries, chopped roasted nuts, or other toppings of your liking. To make a sweeter variation, top with raw honey or maple syrup as well.
- FYI: though the coconut or almond yogurt is totally optional, I like to add it to give the bowl some extra moist. Extra almond milk works too!
Notes
- Optional other toppings: Raw honey, seeds, cacao nibs, cultured coconut yogurt, goji berries, (homemade) granola, etc.
- Homemade cultured coconut yogurt recipe: super easy, dairy-free, and packed with health-promoting friendly gut bacteria or probiotics.
