Ingredients
  

1/2 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 medium ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)

1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 tablespoon chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa: If you haven't already cooked the quinoa, rinse it under cold water and then cook it according to package instructions. Typically, this means bringing 1 cup of water to a boil, adding 1/3 cup of rinsed quinoa, reducing to a simmer, and cooking uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Let it cool.

    Layer the Base: In a medium bowl, start by adding the cooked quinoa as the base of your breakfast bowl.

      Add Greek Yogurt: Spoon the Greek yogurt on top of the quinoa. This adds creaminess and protein to your dish.

        Incorporate Avocado: Gently place the diced avocado on one side of the bowl. The healthy fats in the avocado will keep you satiated.

          Mix in Berries: Scatter your choice of mixed berries around the bowl for a burst of color and antioxidants.

            Drizzle Nut Butter: Add a dollop of almond or peanut butter in the center for a nutty flavor and extra protein boost.

              Sprinkle Chia Seeds: Add chia seeds over the top of the bowl for added omega-3 fatty acids and a nutrient punch.

                Sweeten It Up: If you want a hint of sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top. Adjust to your taste preference.

                  Finish with Nuts and Cinnamon: Top with chopped nuts for crunch and a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth and flavor.

                    Garnish: Add fresh mint leaves for a refreshing finish before serving.
