Notes

Feel free to customize your toppings based on seasonal fruits or your personal preferences. You can prepare a batch of quinoa ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to five days. Experiment with different flavors by using unsweetened almond milk or try adding spices like cinnamon for an extra kick. If you're looking to increase protein, a dollop of nut butter is a great addition.
