Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, plus extra for serving
  • ½ cup dried berries (I used a mix with cranberries, blueberries, cherries and strawberries but any dried berry mix would work here)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • Pepita seeds (optional)
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cook the quinoa in a medium saucepan according to the instructions on the quinoa package.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat when the quinoa is done cooking and mix in the almond milk and dried berries.
  3. Stir in the tablespoon maple syrup, if using. It adds just the barest hint of sweetness.
  4. Divide the quinoa evenly among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with a handful of pepita seeds and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if using. Add a few more tablespoons almond milk to each bowl, if desired.
  5. NOTE: The quinoa can be eaten warm, room temperature or cold, whichever you prefer.
