Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Yogurt

    In a bowl, scoop out 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

  3. 3

    Chop the Mint

    Wash and finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Slice 1/4 cup of almonds and set aside. Measure out 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds and set aside. Wash 1 cup of blackberries and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, start by adding a base of the cooked quinoa. Top with the Greek yogurt, then layer on the blackberries, sliced almonds, and sunflower seeds.

  2. 6

    Add Sweetener and Mint

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon of local honey over the top and sprinkle the chopped mint leaves for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the quinoa is warm, and enjoy your nutritious quinoa breakfast bowl!
