Base Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Quinoa

  1. 1

    Rinse the Quinoa

    Place 1 cup of quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes to remove any bitterness.

  2. 2

    Cook the Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Add Cocoa and Sweetener

    Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix well until combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the quinoa is cooking, prepare your toppings by slicing the strawberries and banana, and measuring out the blueberries, toasted coconut, walnuts, and pecans.

  2. 5

    Scoop the Quinoa

    Spoon the warm chocolatey quinoa into serving bowls.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each bowl of quinoa with fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, banana slices, toasted coconut, chopped walnuts, and pecans.

  4. 7

    Drizzle with Chocolate Sauce

    Finish by drizzling 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate sauce over the toppings on each bowl.

Serve

  1. 8

    Serve with Milk

    Serve the chocolate quinoa breakfast bowl warm, alongside a side of steamed oat, soy, almond, or 2% milk.
