Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup water, divided
  • 1/4 cup tri-colored quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons dried goji berries or dried cranberries
  • 1 small banana
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries

Direction

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, soak berries in remaining 1/4 cup water for 10 minutes; drain. Halve banana crosswise. Slice 1 banana half; mash the other.
  2. Remove quinoa from heat; fluff with a fork. Mix in mashed banana, almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. Transfer to an individual bowl; add blueberries, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, banana slices and goji berries. If desired, serve with additional almond milk and maple syrup.
