Cold Fall mornings call for steaming bowls of breakfast goodness, don't you think?  I shared this recipe for a superfood breakfast bowl yesterday on Camille Styles and wrote about just a FEW of the health benefits packed into this bowl.  Head over here to read more!  And I'll be back later today with some links for your weekend.  xx- Sarah  {Recipe after the jump}

SUPERFOOD QUINOA BREAKFAST BOWL

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of quinoa

1 1/2 cups water

1/8 teaspoon cardamon

2 tablespoons pepitas

1 tablespoon shredded coconut

1 tablespoon golden raisins

goji berries, chia seeds, banana and coconut flakes, to garnish

 

 

Method:

I bet the quinoa tastes great cooked in coconut milk. The sweetness of the coconut milk would be a nice balance to the slightly bitter quinoa. I haven't had goji berries in a while, but I love the colour that they add to those photos!

Just made this! Amazing! I added a little bit of canned pumpkin and pumpkin spice instead of the banana. Delicious!
