Serves: 2
Ingredients
Quinoa:
  • ½ Cup Uncooked Quinoa
  • 1½ Cup Coconut Milk, divided (can sub almond milk, but the quinoa will be less creamy)
  • 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Toppings:
  • Sliced Banana (~1/3 Banana per bowl)
  • Goji Berries (~2 Tablespoons per bowl)
  • Cacao Nibs (~1 Tablespoon per bowl)
  • Blueberries (~1/4 Cup per bowl)
Instructions
  1. Place quinoa in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Gently toss the quinoa around the pan until the quinoa is slightly toasted - about 30-60 seconds.
  2. Add one cup of coconut milk to the quinoa and stir. Bring up to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Allow the quinoa to simmer for about 10-12 minutes until it is cooked through and has absorbed the coconut milk.
  3. When the quinoa has fully cooked, add the remaining ½ cup of coconut milk along with the maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until well combined and bring to a low simmer until quinoa is nice and creamy.
  4. Divide the quinoa among two bowls and top with sliced banana, blueberries, cacao nibs and goji berries. Serve immediately, or store quinoa in a covered container in the fridge without the toppings for up to three days.
