Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 335kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup non-dairy yogurt (I use plain unsweetened vanilla So Delicious brand or SILK Almond)
- ½ cup cooked quinoa (about ¼ cup dry, with ½ cup water)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Optional: other fruit to top with
Instructions
- Make the quinoa. Always rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Then if you choose to soak the quinoa in water overnight for better digestion place in a bowl with water and place in the fridge overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking. Another option is use sprouted quinoa then cook according to package directions.
- If not soaking the quinoa, rinse in a fine mesh strainer and place in a pot to cook. Option 1 is to toast the quinoa for 1-2 minutes before adding the water, option 2 is to add the water and skip the toasting. You will be adding ½ cup of water for the cooking process.
- Bring water to a boil on medium heat, then reduce to low heat with the lid on but slightly cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook for 15 minutes, allow to cool and fluff with a fork.
- Add quinoa to a bowl, add in the maple syrup and mix it into the quinoa, add yogurt, peanut butter, berries and enjoy!

Notes
Quinoa: For easier digestion I like to rinse and soak my grains overnights, drain and rinse again before cooking according to package directions. Check out my post How to cook Quinoa for more on cooking the best quinoa.
Storage: Store each component separate in containers in the fridge.
