Vanilla Berry Quinoa Breakfast

As mentioned in past posts, I make my quinoa in advance. I keep a large Tupperware of it to use throughout the week.

For this recipe, I take a scoop of quinoa (about 1/2 cup) and throw it into a microwave safe bowl. I then top it with about 1/4 cup of fresh or frozen berries and a scoop of vanilla protein powder. I add just a touch of water (1-2 tbs)to the quinoa, stir it together (this will not look appetizing) and pop it into the microwave for about 30 seconds (1 minute if berries were frozen).


Stir again and enjoy.

Very powerful breakfast!!!

    I might have to try this, especially since it is sweet. Any rec's on a vanilla protein powder? Where do I get it from out of curiosity?

    You can get it from Trader Joe's (avoid their brand and buy Designer Whey) or GNC/Vitamin Shoppe. Look for 20 grams of protein and under 3 grams of sugar. I also look for under 100 calories.
