Quinoa Oat Breakfast Bowl
Hold the phone. How is it already February?! I feel like January flew by and I didn’t do everything I wanted to do. Let’s just call it a trial month for 2016, now we’re going to be on top of it from here on out.
I know we still have a few weeks of colder weather to endure, so this warm breakfast bowl has been on repeat lately during these chilly mornings. It is packed with protein, healthy carbs, and is topped with a super seedy mixture that adds so much great texture and nutrition to the dish. This dish will keep you full for hours and help you power through your morning.
It comes together pretty quickly, and you can cook it all in one pot. Score. You can get creative and top it with whatever fruit your little heart desires, but don’t forget that seedy topping. Oh and honey. You totally need the honey, the sweetness makes it even more comforting. I love that little extra drizzle over the top!
Happy breakfast-ing, friends! Grab a giant bowl, sit on the couch, and stay a while.
