This brekky bowl is super nourishing and be eaten either warm or cool depending on your preference. Quinoa is a great replacement for grains if they don’t agree with your body and it’s gluten free.
This versatile pseudo cereal grain is actually the flowering seed of the plant and is a great source of protein, it’s actually one of the few plants that has sufficient amounts of all 9 amino acids.
Quinoa is high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants.
This brekky bowl is also packing lots of nourishing good plantbased fats to fuel you through the day!!
Give it a whirl, mix up the fruit for whatever is in season.
