Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: Serves 2
Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained; 2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice); 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; Pinch of salt; 1 medium banana, sliced; 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries); 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts; 1 tablespoon chia seeds; 1 tablespoon flaxseeds (ground)

Instructions

Prepare the quinoa

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the quinoa

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add flavorings

Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Let it rest

Cover the pot and let the quinoa rest for about 5 minutes. This allows it to become fluffier and absorb any remaining liquid.
Assemble the bowls

Divide the quinoa mixture between two bowls. Top each bowl with sliced banana, fresh berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds, and ground flaxseeds.
Serve and enjoy

Serve immediately while still warm. If desired, drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey, or add a splash of almond milk for a creamier consistency.
