Dear Florian, I love how this is bursting with flavor, bright colors and wholesome goodness! Perfection in a single bowl. Have a splendid day my friend, Catherine
Thank you, Catherine, you, too!
I’ll admit that I wasn’t a huge quinoa fan until I tried roasting it before cooking – huge improvement! And quinoa for breakfast isn’t a meal I would have thought of on my own, but I’m game – it looks wonderful, especially with cocoa nibs:)
With this recipe you will love quinoa! I promise, Laura!

I use quinoa for savory but this breakfast has my attention. I never worry about fats, it’s the sugars that are the “killers”. So I’d most def use the Almond butter. The fruit takes care of the sweet issue. I love this, Florian!
Glad you do, KC!
This sounds like my perfect breakfast! I will make this for tomorrow morning 🙂
It looks super healthy and tasty too. I have not tried quinoa for breakfast yet.
Just got into these bowls with oatmeal, now I have to try quinoa!
It’s a lovely twist, Tara!
Stunning pictures for a stunning breakfast. You nailed it!! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I will for sure try this recipe soon 🙂
Awesome, can’t wait for your feedback, Del!
Dear Florian, what a bright and beautiful dish! A perfect start to any day. Take care, Catherine
Oh this looks so wonderful! And it probably tastes even better!! What camera do you use to snap all those pretty pictures?
Hi Layla! I have a Nikon D3300!
I’m slowing moving over to a plant based way of eating. I’m starting slowly because I’m new to this. I figure i would start with breakfast. This seems so easy and looks delicious! Trying this tomorrow morning! Thank you
You’re so welcome, Frances! One of my favorites made it all the time! I hope you’ll find lots of more recipes to try!
How many servings is this?
Hi Frances! It makes 4 servings, hope it helps!
