    Do you have to rinse quinoa?

    Yes, it would be best if you rinsed quinoa before every time you cook it. Rinsing quinoa removes quinoa's natural coating, which can make it taste not very pleasant.

    Ingredients for this recipe

    To make this delicious breakfast bowl, you will need:

    Quinoa: The star ingredient! Use cooked quinoa.

    Almond milk: We've used almond milk, but you can replace it with any milk of your choice.

    Vanilla Extract: To add extra flavor.

    Cocoa powder: To add chocolate flavor.

    Maple Syrup: To sweeten.

    Fruit: We've used bananas and blackberries. If you want, you can replace any of these fruits with others you prefer.

    Dry Fruits: To garnish. We've used almonds but feel free to use your favorite.

    How to make this recipe

    This quinoa breakfast bowl is so easy to make!

    Add the cooked quinoa, almond milk, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and maple syrup into a small saucepan. Heat the saucepan over medium to low heat and cook for about 8 minutes until warm and combined. Remove from the heat, serve in a bowl, and top with dried and fresh fruits.

    Tips for making this recipe

    • Rinse quinoa before you cook: Rinsing quinoa removes quinoa's natural coating, which can make it taste bitter.
    • Make this recipe ahead: You can make this recipe on the day before to take less time the next morning. Keep it in the fridge, and the following day, reheat in the microwave and add your favorite toppings.
    • Use your favorite milk: We've used almond milk but feel free to use your favorite one. Soy milk, hazelnut milk, or coconut milk will work great too.
    • Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, jam, or chocolate chips.
