Ingredients
1/4 cup of dry quinoa, dry oats also work
1/2 cup water
1 small banana, 6 inches
1/4 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
Instructions
Step 1:
Pour quinoa into a sauce pan with water. Bring to a boil and stir, add in 1/2 of the blueberries and half of the banana. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let quinoa sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the water and get fluffy.
Step 2:
Mash the other half of the banana with a fork in a small bowl or on a plate.
Step 3:
When the quinoa is ready (no excess water in the pan, and visible “tails” on the quinoa), add the mashed banana and remaining blueberries.
Step 4:
Stir, allowing blueberries to thaw if needed.
Tips & Tricks:
- Try adding in peanut or almond butter for a nutty flavor and a little extra protein.
- Instead of water, you can try using milk as a base.
- If quinoa is not your thing, this recipe also works great with oatmeal.
