Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Quinoa is not the most obvious but great replacement for standard oats. It’s full of fibre and protein that help support your gut health and helps you feel full for longer. 

Topped with berries and a bit of maple syrup, it has everything the perfect breakfast bowl needs: creamy texture, tart chocolate, zingy berries and sweet maple syrup.
