Quinoa, Berries breakfast bowl

As I said on my previous post I'm so in to Quinoa  lately (pronounced kinwa- Quechua). This pseudo cereal superfood, classified as seed is originally cultivated on the Andes of South America: Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador... is a good source of protein, among others and is gluten free.

Easy to cook and super versatile, can be used both in "bitter" (note: when written bitter between " I mean savoury) and sweet dishes! Salads, porridges, vegetarian "hamburger"...

I cook it same way as rice, with a 1 to 2 racio. 
Is recommended to soak it overnight before cooking to best absorb the nutrients and to make it more digestible for the stomach. 
If I plan cooking quinoa, I do soak it. On last minute decision I don't (this time I did). I always rinse it well  before cooking though!


Here's what I had this morning for breakfast, Quinoa, Berries (energy booster) bowl!

This time I used fresh berries, fresh loquat- nespera (my fav fruit ever), pecan/almond, fresh coconuts flesh chunks, cinnamon and almond "milk".

I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl at that's it!

Note: next time I'll toast the coconut flesh before, in order to enhance its nutty flavour!

Isn't it a good choice for a Monday morning kick off?
