Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 frozen bananas, cut in pieces
  • ½ Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • Additional toppings: chocolate chips and maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Thoroughly rinse the quinoa, put it in a small saucepan, and add ½ cup water. Bring this to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  2. Add the cooked quinoa, walnuts, and coconut to a pan on medium-low heat. Stir occasionally and cook until fragrant and toasted, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Put the banana and cinnamon in a food processor or blender (I used a magic bullet, because I didn’t feel like pulling out my food processor). Blend until smooth.
  4. Put the banana puree into a bowl, sprinkle the chia seeds, and add the quinoa mixture. If you’re feeling crazy – because afterall, it is Saturday – add some chocolate chips and a drizzle of pure maple syrup to sweeten it up.
  5. Give it a nice little stir. Spoon it into your mouth. Sip some coffee. Enjoy your day.
