"Ingredients:
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 2 cups of almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt
Directions:
1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. This step is crucial to remove the natural coating of quinoa that can give it a bitter taste.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the quinoa, almond milk, honey, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa absorbs most of the liquid and becomes creamy.
4. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare your toppings. Wash and slice the berries and banana, and chop the nuts.
5. After the quinoa is done, divide it into two bowls. Top each bowl with a generous amount of berries, banana slices, chopped nuts, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
6. Drizzle some more honey on top if desired, and your Protein-Packed Quinoa Breakfast Bowl is ready to serve.

Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids our bodies can't produce on their own. Plus, it's a great source of fiber and iron. Paired with protein-rich Greek yogurt, omega-3 loaded chia seeds, and a variety of fruits and nuts, this breakfast bowl will keep you full and energized all morning. You can even prepare the quinoa the night before to cut down on morning prep time. Feel free to mix up the toppings based on what's in season or your personal preferences. Toasting the nuts beforehand can also add an extra layer of flavor and crunch. Enjoy this healthy, nourishing start to your day!"
