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?
