Quinoa & Oats Breakfast Bowl

This Quinoa & Oats Breakfast Bowl is a healthy quinoa breakfast recipe that will keep you full until lunch!  Gluten Free, Vegan and Delicious.

I tend to approach breakfast in an untraditional way.

Most people I know, think oatmeal, eggs or pancakes for breakfast.

I like all of these things, but most of the time I eat salad for breakfast. Usually with a garlic loaded Balsamic Vinaigrette.

This kids call this stinky salad and run the other way.  Is it wrong that I cherish the few moments along?

In truth, I don’t eat salad in the morning for the alone time.  I eat it because I wake up craving vegetables.

Yes, I know this is weird.

It isn’t that I’m a total health nut.

I can assure you that by dinner, nothing makes me happier than a giant bowl of carbs, preferably covered in cheese.

Now and then, I shake things up, especially as the weather starts to cool off a bit.  (Isn’t it glorious?!)

I wake up wanting a sweet and fruity bowl of comfort, like this Quinoa & Oats Breakfast Bowl. It is a simple breakfast solution that is easy to make, and as delicious as it is nutritious.

I like to make it with almond milk or cashew milk, but you can use whatever type of milk that you have on hand.  You can also switch up the fruit.  I love kiwi or apples with this too!

These Quinoa & Oats are the perfect way to fuel your mornings, keeping you full until lunch without dragging your down.
