Q U I N O A
Recipe time!!
I've thought hard about what recipe should I first share here in my blog, and I reckon this one would be perfect! If you guys have noticed on Instagram, I love quinoa so much and has been using it as a staple ingredient for my salads. Every time I do my meal prep over the weekend, I always end up with some quinoa leftovers and so I thought of how I could incorporate it to my other meals in a whole different level...
Enter quinoa in the sweet world of breakfast! I love this recipe because it only takes me 10 minutes in the morning, given that the quinoa was already prepared over the weekend.
The game-changer about this recipe would be the blueberry milk. If you are feeling bored with the normal cereal-milk/oats-milk routine, or simply want to up your breaky game, then this one is for you!
Ingredients:
- Cooked quinoa
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1 cup blueberries
- Dash of cinnamon
- Maple syrup or any sweetener of your choice
- More berries (for toppings)
- Pumpkin seeds *Optional
- Almonds *Optional
- Cacao nibs *Optional
I intentionally skipped out the measurements for the maple syrup but you can try adding 1 tbsp first and see how you feel about it. Some people prefer it to be too sweet, some even without added sugar, but for my preference - I just like it with a kick of sweetness!
Also, I highly suggest that you don't skip the cashews. It's really key if you want to achieve that very creamy blueberry milk.
Instructions:
Blend together almond milk, blueberries, cashews, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
Pour blueberry milk in cooked quinoa and add desired toppings! I used pumpkin seeds, almonds and cacao nibs for this recipe. The possibilities are endless tho! - You can add more variations of seeds, nuts, or even a gallop of coconut yogurt topped with more berries, yum!!
It's as easy as that guys! Hope you enjoyed reading and if you happen to try this recipe, please let us know! Would love to know what your thoughts are, and see what you've come up with. Don't forget to tag us on Instagram! :)
