Ingredients  

  • 1 (13.66-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk 
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 Tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Yogurt or milk, for serving
  • Assorted fruit, for topping
  • Assorted nuts, for topping
  • Nut butter, for topping

Instructions 

  • In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, stir together the coconut milk, water and quinoa. Bring the mixture to a boil then cover the saucepot, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until all liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. 
  • Lightly fluffy the quinoa with a fork then stir in the honey (optional). Divide the quinoa into serving bowls.
  • Serve with your choice of milk or yogurt then top with assorted fruit, nuts or nut butter.

Notes

  • If you prefer slightly sweetened quinoa, add a tablespoon of honey to the cooked quinoa. Adjust the amount to your taste preferences or skip it altogether if you prefer a less sweet bowl.
  • Cook a batch of quinoa in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 6 days. Having cooked quinoa stored in the fridge makes assembling the breakfast bowls a total breeze.
