This recipe for breakfast quinoa power bowls is actually one of my old creations that I decided to revamp, making it easier, quicker, and just as tasty! While I will forever love oatmeal, it’s good to take a break every once in a while, and quinoa is a ready substitute when you’re craving a warm, filling, porridge to start the day.
To make my breakfast quinoa power bowls, you make quinoa as you normally would, boiling water, covering, simmering, etc. After the quinoa is done cooking, I added salt, cinnamon, and coconut milk while the quinoa was still piping hot. All that’s left to do is top the bowls with fresh fruit, nut butter, and seeds of your choice. So easy, so nutritious, and completely delicious.
