Listen up, breakfast lovers! I’m about to share my absolute favorite morning recipe that’ll make you want to jump out of bed and head straight to the kitchen. Trust me, this isn’t your basic avocado toast (though we love that too!) – this is a game-changer that’ll have your taste buds doing the happy dance! 🎉
Let me introduce you to my Protein-Packed Berry Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. It’s healthy, Instagram-worthy, and honestly feels like you’re having dessert for breakfast (but like, the good kind that won’t have you crashing by 10 AM).
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 cup cooked quinoa (I cook mine in coconut milk because I’m fancy like that)
– 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, I don’t judge)
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
– Handful of crushed almonds
– Dash of cinnamon
– Optional: edible flowers for garnish (because why not be extra?)
Now, let’s get cooking, gorgeous!
1. First, if you haven’t already, cook your quinoa in coconut milk according to package instructions. Pro tip: make extra and store it for tomorrow because trust me, you’ll want this again!
1. While it’s still warm, stir in that honey or maple syrup. The warm quinoa will soak up all that sweetness like a dream.
1. Now comes the fun part! Layer your bowl starting with the warm quinoa, then add your Greek yogurt (I sometimes swirl it in to make it look pretty – we eat with our eyes first, right?).
1. Top with your berries, sprinkle those chia seeds and crushed almonds, and finish with a little dash of cinnamon.

Now, here’s why I’m obsessed with this recipe: it’s got protein from the quinoa and Greek yogurt, healthy fats from the nuts and chia seeds, and antioxidants from those gorgeous berries. Plus, it keeps me full until lunch, which is basically a miracle!
You can totally customize this based on what’s in your pantry. Sometimes I’ll swap the berries for caramelized bananas (don’t even get me started on how amazing that is), or use different nuts. The possibilities are endless!
