Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit (berries, banana, etc.)
- Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear.
- In a pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of almond milk. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
- Transfer the mixture into jars or bowls, and top with fresh fruit and any desired optional toppings.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken. Serve cold or warm.
Notes
Keep the bowls in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Customize with various fruits and toppings.
