Extra tips:
✔ Use a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the quinoa until the water runs clear. Quinoa has a slightly bitter taste; rinsing it water can reduce the flavour.
✔ Double up and make a batch of this breakfast bowl. Divide it into mason jars or BPA free plastic containers for the week ahead. You will have a power breakfast every day. Add favourite toppings.
✔ Use a plant-based beverage of your choice (coconut, nuts, hemp). Make sure it is fortified with calcium and vitamin D.
✔ You may add a tablespoon of hemp hearts to each serving to boost the protein and fibre.
