Quinoa with Kiwi and Strawberries

I've been venturing into different breakfast bowls lately. This one is my new favorite. It feels like springtime because of the kiwi and strawberries so it gets me excited! And with this wonderful weather were having here in Santa Barbara it's perfect! I even ate it cold one morning. I love the warm weather.

Quinoa is such a hearty grain and is a great way to start your day. This meal could also make a great snack, you could easily make a bunch and leave it refrigerated for a couple days. I've been making a large batch of quinoa and then each morning mixing in the fruit. I like to prepare the quinoa with extra water so that it comes out more like a porridge, but that's just me. I use 1 C quinoa to about 3 C water, I know it's a lot but it comes out great that way for breakfast bowls! It's kind of thicker and mushy like oatmeal.

Recipe
quinoa
1 T ground flaxseed
2 Kiwi's
couple of strawberries
Place desired amount of quinoa in a bowl. Finely dice kiwi and strawberries. Add flaxseed then fruit and mix well. Enjoy!

It's so simple and so delicious! Two posts this week, I'm doing much better!! I have another breakfast bowl coming soon too so stay tuned :)

Blessings,
Dani
