Try this healthy warm breakfast bowl full of fiber, protein, healthy fats, to keep you feeling energized and satisfied all morning long.
The cereal itself has healthy fats from the seeds, but I recommend adding toppings that contain healthy fat as well to keep your hunger at bay, keep you satisfied and feeling good all morning. I like using coconut butter (it just so happens that I have some pink berry coconut butter on hand!), almond/cashew/peanut butter, ghee, coconut oil, coconut yogurt or kefir (hello probiotics), etc. Use whatever you enjoy!
Since there is quinoa which is a gluten-free seed technically, but used as a grain, it’s rich in protein. Couple that with the seeds and you’re in good hands with protein for the morning.
We all know the importance of both types of fiber and this warm cereal contains a good amount of fiber to keep you full, keep your energy and blood sugars balanced in the morning and throughout the day.
Add in a scoop of plant-based protein powder for a boost of protein (even though this already contains a fair amount, you can give it a boost, I’d go with a vanilla based or neutral). If you go this route, add extra almond milk or water to thin it out and get your desired texture.
1 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground chia seeds
1/2 cup ground buckwheat
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
Optional upon serving: pinch of sea salt, ghee, coconut oil, coconut butter, almond milk, almond butter
In a large bowl combine ingredients to mix a dry cereal. From that, to make 1 serving use about 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of the dry cereal.
In a small saucepan, add 1 cup almond milk or you can use water, with 1/3-1/2 cup of the dry cereal. Gently heat on medium until the mixture is warm. Add more almond milk or water to thin to your desired texture.
Upon serving, add optional toppings and enjoy warm.
Store leftover dry cereal in a glass jar for later.
Full dry cereal recipe makes about 8 total servings
Chia seeds, hemp seeds, I had a sample of this pink coconut butter (for the fancy!) or use regular which is just as delicious, almond butter, coconut kefir, glass jars to store leftovers, pretty bowl, and mug.
