Quinoa Base

Method

Prepare Quinoa

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 2 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare Fruits and Nuts

    While the quinoa cooks, wash and slice the fresh strawberries and banana. Measure out the blueberries, toasted coconut flakes, walnuts, and pecans.

  2. 4

    Toast Coconut (if not pre-toasted)

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coconut flakes for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble Bowl

  1. 5

    Scoop Quinoa

    Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and scoop it into serving bowls.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the warm quinoa with fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, banana slices, toasted coconut, chopped walnuts, and chopped pecans.

  3. 7

    Drizzle with Chocolate Sauce

    Finish with a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce over the toppings.

Serve

  1. 8

    Serve with Milk

    Serve the chocolate quinoa breakfast bowl with a side of 1 cup of oat milk, soy milk, or almond milk.
