Ingredients Used to Make the Chocolate Quinoa Oatmeal Bowl
This breakfast bowl is packed with fiber, healthy fats, and protein. It’s a great option for busy mornings!
Sprouted organic rolled oats – when looking for oatmeal, be sure to choose organic to lower the amount of glyphosate present. Choosing sprouted rolled oats will also lower the amount of phytates present, to improve the bioavailability of nutrients.
Multicolored quinoa – adds a good source of plant protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Milk – I recommend purchasing 100% grass fed for top quality.
Peanut butter – this increases the amount of the healthy fats and plant protein.
Whey protein – adds a great source of protein to this meal.
Chia seeds and ground flaxseed – both add fiber, healthy fats, and plant protein!
Vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and ceylon cinnamon – add the perfect touch of sweetness.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer for at least 30 seconds to remove the natural bitterness. Place into a small pot on the stove with 1 cup of water, bringing to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cooking until the quinoa has absorbed all the water, about 10 minutes.
- in the same small pot, add the oats and milk, simmering until the oats have softened and absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly stir in the cocoa powder, peanut butter, whey protein powder, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Pour the chocolate quinoa oatmeal into your serving bowl, add your preferred toppings. Enjoy!
