Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

If you haven't read some of my previous post I love quinoa. I normally have some in the fridge at all times. It is a great healthy alternative to bleached rice and breads.
It is packed with protein, low in fat and is a great source of iron and fiber.
Here is a super simple breakfast bowl I made.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup coconut almond chia pudding (recipe here)
1/2 cup strawberries
1/4 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt
Raw Honey
Lemon Basil garnish

Mix first two ingredient together. Top with strawberries then yogurt. Drizzle honey. Garnish with lemon basil.
This is another super easy breakfast. If you have quinoa and chia pudding already made it's a quick breakfast also. Hope you enjoy!

Coconut Almond Chia Oatmeal

Here is another chia pudding recipe that is sooooo good. I first tried canned coconut but that has a lot of fat so I subtituted it for Blue Diamond half coconut/almond Milk blend. It came out great. Chia is so good for you. Make sure to always let it absorb in a liquid to get the most nutrients out of it!
If you don't want oatmeal you can skip it and add another 1-2 more tablespoons of chia seeds.

Entire recipe is only 344 calories (if you add sweetener it will be more)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/3 cup old fashion oatmeal
2 cups Blue Diamond half coconut/almond milk unsweetened
1/2 fruit
Agave or honey to taste
Shredded coconut (optional)
Mix together and let sit over night. Another easy recipe.
