Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1 tbsp chia seeds

1/2 banana, sliced

Pinch of cinnamon

Optional: a scoop of protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

Instructions
 

Start by cooking quinoa if you haven't already; it usually takes about 15 minutes to cook. Rinse it thoroughly, then combine 1 cup of water with 1/3 cup of quinoa in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.

    In a bowl, layer the cooked quinoa at the bottom as your base.

      Add the Greek yogurt on top of the quinoa, smoothing it out to create an even layer.

        Sprinkle the mixed berries over the yogurt. Feel free to mix and match with your favorite fruits!

          Add the chopped nuts for an added crunch and healthy fats.

            Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for sweetness, adjusting to taste.

              Sprinkle chia seeds evenly across the bowl and add the banana slices for additional nutrition and flavor.

                Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for warmth and spice. If desired, mix in a scoop of protein powder into the yogurt for an extra protein boost.

                  Serve immediately, or store in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go meal in the morning!
