Ingredients

  • 1 cup Quinoa

  • 1.5 cups Water

  • 2 piece Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 1.5 handful Walnuts

  • 1 handful Blueberry, raw

  • 1 piece Banana, fresh

  • 6 dl Coconut milk

  • 4 spoon Honey

Steps

  1. Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it thoroughly under running water (rinse for about 2 minutes or until the water runs clear). Drain the rinsed quinoa, transfer it to a pot, and add water. Add salt and cinnamon sticks, bring to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat so the liquid barely simmers. Cook the quinoa for 20 minutes or until it softens. Remove the pot from the heat and let the quinoa sit for 5 minutes, then fluff it gently with a fork.

  2. Rinse the blueberries under running water if needed. Peel the banana and slice it into rounds. Roughly chop the walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.

  3. Serve the cooked quinoa in bowls (discard the cinnamon sticks). Top it with the chopped nuts and fruit. Drizzle with a plant-based drink, sweeten with your preferred sweetener, and serve the prepared breakfast.
