Makes 2 servings

My new favorite breakfast!  Delicious and nutritious, packed with protein, fiber and essential fatty acids and it’s also super hydrating.  Tastes like a cross between chia pudding and overnight oats.  A quick and easy nutrient rich breakfast, snack or even a dessert that the whole family will love!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa 

  • About 1 cup almond, coconut, goat or any other milk of your choice, enough to cover quinoa and seeds with no extra space 

  • 2 tbsp. chia seeds

  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup or raw honey

  • 1 pinch sea salt

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon (optional)

  • Toppings of your choice – I used bananas and chopped walnuts


Preparation:

  • Add all ingredients except sweetener and toppings to a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously to combine well.  

  • Add maple syrup and taste until desired sweetness.

  • Pour mixture into 2 mason jars, cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

  • Remove cover, add desired toppings and enjoy!

  • Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for 5 days.
