The significance of breakfast cannot be overstated. It serves as a critical source of energy, helping you to kickstart your metabolism after a night of fasting. Studies have shown that eating a healthy breakfast can improve cognitive function, enhance mood, and even contribute to weight management. When you skip breakfast, you may find yourself feeling sluggish, irritable, or unfocused—none of which are ideal for tackling the challenges of the day.

Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 banana, sliced

1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

A sprinkle of cinnamon

A handful of nuts or seeds (such as walnuts or pumpkin seeds, for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and almond milk. Stir well to create a creamy base.

    Layer the Yogurt: Add a generous scoop of Greek yogurt on top of the quinoa mixture. This adds creaminess and a protein boost.

      Add the Fruits: Gently layer the banana slices and blueberries on top of the yogurt. Feel free to arrange them artistically for a visually appealing dish!

        Drizzle the Nut Butter: Warm the almond butter slightly in the microwave (10-15 seconds) to make it easier to drizzle. Pour it over the fruit layers.

          Sprinkle the Seeds: Evenly distribute the chia seeds over the top for added nutrition and crunch.

            Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter bowl, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top to taste.

              Season to Taste: Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and an aromatic touch.

                Add Nuts/Seeds Topping: Finally, top off the bowl with a handful of nuts or seeds for that delightful crunch.
