Plant-based breakfast bowls are fast, easy, and fun to make. You can even prepare them the night before if you find yourself rushed for time in the mornings. One of the great thing about breakfast bowls is that you can use any base you like and mix it up each day. I alternate between quinoa, bulgur, oatmeal, and brown rice. I even blend the bases sometimes. I switch up my seeds, fruits, and nuts often, so I never get bored with the taste. Each day and each bowl is different!
People often asked plant-based eaters, "But...how do you get your protein??" Easy! Plant-based meals are loaded with plant protein. In fact, just 1/4 of a cup of dry quinoa has 6 grams of protein. I used 1/2 a cup in this particular bowl, so there were 12 grams of protein just from my base. :)
Quinoa Breakfast Bowl Ingredients:
1/2 cup blended quinoa
1 cup water
1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup almonds
Directions:
Bring water to a boil, stir in quinoa, reduce heat, and simmer without stirring for ~12 minutes or until water is gone and quinoa is light and fluffy when stirred.
Place quinoa in a bowl and add fruit and nuts. Enjoy!
Preparing the night before:
If you prepare your quinoa bowl the night before, make the quinoa and seal in a separate bowl from the fruit and nuts in the refrigerator. Do not mix the fruit and nuts in until you're ready because they nuts will go soft.
