Quinoa and Berry Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients
2/3 cup quinoa, rinsed, drained
1 1/3 cups water or coconut milk
1 orange
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds ( optional )
2 tbsp natural almonds, toasted & chopped
handful fresh blueberries
2/3 cup natural yoghurt, to serve (optional)
Ground cinnamon, extra, to serve
Directions
Place the quinoa and water or coconut milk (for a creamier version) in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the quinoa is just tender. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
Peel and segment the orange over a bowl, reserving the juice, and add the orange segments, juice, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, almonds and half of the blueberries to the cooked quinoa. Stir to combine.
Divide quinoa among bowls. Top with remaining blueberries. Dollop with yoghurt, if using. Sprinkle with the extra cinnamon.
