Start your day with a vibrant and nourishing Sunrise Berry Quinoa Breakfast Bowl! This recipe uses versatile cooked quinoa as a base, creating a satisfying, protein-rich alternative to typical breakfast grains. Topped with fresh berries, crunchy almonds, and healthy seeds, it’s a simple yet elegant meal that aligns beautifully with a Mediterranean lifestyle. Perfect for busy mornings, especially if you have quinoa cooked ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (140 g) cooked quinoa (warm or chilled)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk ( start with 1/3 cup/80 ml for thicker; add to taste.)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1 tbsp (9 g) chopped raw almonds
  • 1½ tsp (5 g) mixed seeds (chia, flax, hemp)
  • 1/4 tsp (1 g) ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add cooked quinoa to a serving bowl. If cooking quinoa now, allow 15–20 minutes per package directions; this time is for quinoa only and not counted in cook time.
  2. Gently pour the almond milk over the quinoa base. Use less milk for a denser texture or more if you prefer it looser; stir lightly if needed to distribute.
  3. Artfully arrange the selection of fresh berries on top of the moistened quinoa.
  4. Evenly distribute the chopped raw almonds and the mixture of seeds over the berries.
  5. Apply a final dusting of ground cinnamon across the top for flavor and visual appeal.
  6. Serve promptly and enjoy.

Notes

  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook a larger batch of quinoa at the start of the week to assemble this bowl quickly. Cooked quinoa keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Customization: Feel free to swap the almonds for walnuts or pecans, or use different combinations of berries or seeds based on availability and preference.
