Fruit & Yogurt Quinoa Breakfast Cereal Bowls

Edit
A quick & healthy breakfast recipe that combines yogurt, fruit and cooked quinoa. High in protein, super creamy and so delicious!
I used to think breakfast was exclusive to a big, warm bowl of oatmeal with almond butter and honey and fine, okay, I’ll take a touch of cream if you’re going to twist my arm like that.
But I’m coming to terms with some sad personal food news: I think I ruined my desire to eat hot oatmeal during our year in the Philippines.
I forced it when it shouldn’t have been forced, when the early morning air was already heavy and sticky and I was a regular hot morning mess, and now I’m just not that into it. I’M SO SORRY, SELF.
But with the exit of oatmeal comes the new found love for cold breakfast things like green smoothies and muesli, overnight oats and grapefruit, and granola and milk and coffee. And most importantly, yogurt parfaits that scream happy, vibrant, morning joy right into my face.
Doesn’t it just totally makes sense that I would be into these things now that I’ve moved back to my frozen Minnesotaland? Totally.
