Instructions

Cook the quinoa according to package instructions or use leftover cooked quinoa.
In a large bowl, mix together cooked quinoa, optional oats, and chia seed. Pour the milk on top to cover the grain/seed mix. Stir in maple syrup and cinnamon.
Let this mixture sit in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight. The mixture will thicken into a chia pudding-like texture.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove from the fridge and stir in optional nut butter and toppings. If desired, pour a splash of milk on top and a drizzle of honey.
Keeps well in fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days for the perfect make ahead breakfast bowl or spoon portions into mason jars for breakfast on the go.

Notes

Substitutes – Brown rice or millet may be substituted for quinoa.

Cooking Tip – If preparing the power bowls for meal prep, toss the fruit in a splash of lemon juice to keep fruit from browning.
