Ingredients

- Take a bowl, add 4-5 tbs of the cooked mixture and mix with a cup of almond milk.
Serving Suggestions (2-3 Serves)
- The easiest way to eat quinoa is with fresh fruits. The perfect morning meal!
- For a summer-y delight, add juicy slices of mangoes and sprinkle them with coconut flakes and hemp seeds.
- A velvety dollop of coconut cream paired with chocolate chips and nuts is the best vegan breakfast in Dubai.
Notes
- You can make a large batch of the quinoa breakfast bowl without toppings. You can store it in the fridge for a few days. You do not even have to cook this every day.
- You can also enjoy this protein vegan breakfast with sweet condiments like cloves, nutmeg, ginger and maple syrup.
- If you do not like to add milk, it is completely fine. The nutritional value does not change much. You will receive all the goodness of add-ons and quinoa itself.
