These hearty and healthy bowls are so easy to make and they’ll keep you satisfied until lunch.  Instead of cooking the quinoa in water, I cooked it in almond milk which gives it more of a creamy texture.  A touch of maple syrup helps to sweeten things up and a ripe banana, of course, gives it the delicious banana bread flavor.  Top all of this off with a big handful of juicy, sweet berries and you have one tasty breakfast you can really get excited about!

Breakfast in no time.

    You don't want the liquid be completely absorbed because that will make the quinoa sticky.
    To reheat leftovers, stir in a little more almond milk and reheat in the microwave.
