I’m talking fresh spinach & roasted veggie salad on one day, maybe some quinoa, passionfruit compote and coconut milk on another – then how about a creamy green breakfast smoothie…

Who wouldn’t feel amazing, starting the days with all that good-for-you food!

But then again…who has time for all that?

I’ll tell you, with a little smart cooking,  the answer is: you!

Not only are these breakfast bowls seriously delicious, you won’t believe how incredibly quick they are make. It has to be, right!

Check out the cooking tips below to help make the morning process easier on you… so that you can recapture the mornings  – and feel your best all throughout the week!

Sunshine Quinoa Bowl

This recipe was inspired by the book, Whole Grains. It’s a twist on the oatmeal bowl, using quinoa instead – which works surprisingly well! Hopefully you have passionfruit handy. You could probably get away with a good passionfruit jam – I think the tropical flavours really make this recipe… or just toss in what ever fruit you have. The point is, make it! 🙂

Sunshine Quinoa Bowl
ingredients:

  • coconut milk from a box or a can
  • passionfruit
  • honey
  • flaked coconut

directions:

  • prep ahead – cook a big batch of quinoa according to the packet instructions
  • prep ahead – make your own passionfruit compote, just scoop it out into a pot. Add your choice of sweetener to taste and reduce over low heat until it becomes thick and jammy. About 5 minutes. You can make a larger amount and store it in the fridge for 5 days.
  • serve yourself a bowl of quinoa. pour in the coconut milk like it’s a cereal.
  • add your toppings, spoonfuls of passionfruit compote and coconut flakes.
  • drizzle with honey to taste
  • tip: you can eat this dish cold!
