Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa

1 cup coconut milk

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon honey

1 small banana, sliced

1/3 cup blueberries

1 tablespoon crushed walnuts

Instructions

  1. Bring coconut milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10-15 minutes until quinoa is tender and liquid mostly absorbed.

  4. Transfer quinoa to a bowl.

  5. Top with banana slices, blueberries, and crushed walnuts.

Notes

Substitute coconut milk with almond, oat, or dairy milk.

Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan option.

Add other fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or apple slices.

Sprinkle with chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra nutrition.

Add Greek or plant-based yogurt for creaminess.

Rinse quinoa before cooking to prevent sticking.

Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
