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.
