This superfood quinoa bowl is the definition of brunch goals
The next time you're brainstorming what to make for an at-home brunch date, forget about French toast and omelettes. Instead, opt for this colorful superfood quinoa bowl. It's gluten free and vegan, incredibly flavorful, and much more nutritious than a stack of sugary pancakes.
Quinoa is the base of this bowl, making it chock-full of protein and fiber. The toppings--my favorite of which are goji berries and almond butter--are all classified as superfoods, or mostly plant-based foods that are nutritionally dense. You can purchase the ingredients at any grocery store, and best of all, this recipe takes less than 30 minutes to put together.
