Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or almond milk

1 ripe banana, sliced

1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and water (or almond milk) with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

    Prepare the Toppings: While the quinoa is cooking, slice the banana and gather your blueberries and chopped nuts. If you're using frozen blueberries, you can allow them to thaw slightly while the quinoa cooks.

      Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, place a generous scoop of the cooked quinoa. Top with sliced banana, blueberries, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

        Add Flavor: Drizzle maple syrup or honey over the top (if using), sprinkle with chia seeds and cinnamon.

          Garnish and Serve: Add a few mint leaves for freshness if desired. Serve warm and enjoy a nutritious breakfast!
