Ingredients:
• 1 cup quinoa (dry)
• 2 cups water or almond milk (for cooking quinoa)

Instructions:
1. Cook the Quinoa: Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and
water or almond milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for
about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and
let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, 1/2 cup almond milk,
honey or maple syrup, sliced banana, and cinnamon (if using). Stir well to combine.
3. Portion Out: Divide the mixture into several bowls or containers. Top each with nuts and
chia seeds if desired.
4. Store: Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving, if desired.
