Why use quinoa?

Well, here’s a few good reasons:

• it’s gluten-free
• high in fiber, much more than most grains
• very high in protein, it contains all the essential amino acids
• low on the glycemic index, so helpful for a stable blood sugar
• contains plenty of magnesium and iron
• filled with antioxidants

What other toppings can I use on the Vegan Quinoa Breakfast Bowl?

How about:

• chia, hemp, flax, and sesame seeds
• any nut of your choice
• berries or chopped up fruit – try apple, banana, mango, peaches, pear etc
• dried fruit
• your favorite jam or marmalade
