Warm Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
This warm quinoa breakfast bowl is a delicious treat to start the day with. It will surprise you as it’s so sweet and comfy!
Additionally what I love in this healthy bowl is its incredible creaminess. First, I use coconut milk (can) to cook the quinoa. Then I add a splash of coconut yoghurt for its delicious texture. Skip the yoghurt if you don’t have it, it remains creamy enough to make it a fantastic tasty breakfast alternative.
Furthermore, the hit of cinnamon helps you to alter the metabolism and the delicious fruit topping gives you a fresh vitamin kick.
So start your day right with this healthy warm quinoa breakfast bowl that supplies you enough energy to carry you through until lunch time. It’s a simple power breakfast bowl well balanced and very tasty !
Top Tip about cinnamon
Is cinnamon a healthy spice?
First, cinnamon from Ceylon is the best cinnamon you can find. It means “true cinnamon” and is native to Sri Lanka and South India.
On the other side, Cassia cinnamon is from South China, very cheap and is very low in quality (and with less benefits).
For example, Cinnamon in general is known to help to control insulin levels. Thanks to the cinnamon, your body is able to use your carbohydrate storage, so that they do not turn into excess fat.
I really like to use Ceylon cinnamon for its nutrients and it is definitely a way I found to avoid adding sugar in my sweet or dessert recipes.
Try it out and add cinnamon regularly to your meals.
