Rinse and Cook Quinoa Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly. Cook with 2 cups water or milk over medium heat until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Choose a Base Flavor Stir in a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract or cinnamon while the quinoa is still warm to infuse it with subtle flavor.
Sweeten Lightly Mix in a tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for natural sweetness. Adjust to taste depending on your preference and toppings.
Add Fresh Fruit Top with sliced bananas, berries, peaches, or any seasonal fruit. Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness, fiber, and vibrant color to the bowl.
Include Protein Boosts Add Greek yogurt, nut butter, chia seeds, or a handful of almonds or walnuts for extra protein and healthy fats to keep you full longer.
Sprinkle Crunchy Toppings Include granola, toasted seeds, or coconut flakes for texture. These add crunch and extra nutrients to balance the creamy and soft elements.
Customize to Taste Try different combos like tropical (pineapple + coconut), autumn (apples + cinnamon), or chocolate (cocoa nibs + banana) to keep breakfast exciting.
Serve and Enjoy Serve warm for a cozy meal or chill for a refreshing bowl. Store extras in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
