If you saw what I consume for breakfast every day, you would be so bored. Don’t get me incorrect, I really love my every day eggs & avocado, but currently I’ve been seeking to transfer things up just because I assume change is ideal each every now and then. especially if that exchange manner some other excuse to smother things in peaches.

This quinoa breakfast bowl is inspired by using the lovely bowls of oatmeal that I see all over the internet. you recognize those – they’re chock complete of colorful fruit and other diverse superfoods. They’re so pretty that they make me desire I preferred oatmeal… so finally I had the idea to make a candy non-oat quinoa bowl for breakfast.

To make the bottom of this recipe, I cook quinoa in almond milk with a few cinnamon sticks. It’s this simple: Almond Breeze + quinoa + entire cinnamon sticks. you may additionally get creative along with your spices. Nutmeg, cardamom, and/or vanilla bean would all be welcome here.
