Cozy Quinoa Breakfast Bake
This quinoa bake is not only impressive on the eyes, but a BREEZE to put together! Large group? No problem! Versatile - use any combo of seasonal fruit - fresh or frozen. I made this one with fresh persimmon & cranberries & it was soooo good! I love eating mine topped with gooey almond butter, a healthy drizzle of honey, creamy lavva pilinut yogurt, fresh berries & crunchy toasted walnuts.
What a bowl of GOODNESS.
LOVE quinoa as it's loaded in protein, fiber & a host of nutrients -incredible fuel for your gut!
What a tasty & nutritious start for the day!
