This vegan quinoa breakfast bowl has many variations. Feel free to substitute the peaches for nectarines, the blueberries for strawberries or blackberries, the dates for raisins or goji berries, and the pecans for walnuts or sliced almonds.

How to prepare this power breakfast quinoa bowl

Start by cooking the quinoa. Add water and dry quinoa to a medium pot uncovered and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, keep covered, and let it sit for at least 5 minutes. It'll finish absorbing the rest of the water and be tender but not mushy.

While quinoa is cooking, chop peaches into bite-size chunks, and mince the dates. Slice or chop the banana. Set aside.

When quinoa is ready, stir in the cinnamon and cardamom (if using).

Assemble the bowl with quinoa on the bottom and top with fruit, pecans, and unsweetened shredded coconut.

If using, add a splash of your favorite unsweetened plant-based milk and enjoy!

Meal prep ideas

Feel free to meal prep this delicious, grab-and-go power breakfast by layering quinoa with fruit and nuts in a mason jar or other meal prep container. This will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Too often, we get stuck in an oatmeal rut. Don't get me wrong; oatmeal is a favorite in our home. All kinds of oats: steel cut oats, rolled oats, and the OG oat groats. We even love to bake our oats like the carrot cake baked oatmeal. However, it's good to mix up that whole grain you have for breakfast on the regular. Quinoa is a great way to do that. It's a good source of protein and also quick to prepare. Enjoy this delicious quinoa breakfast bowl warm, cold, or at room temperature.

    Very tasty! With peaches and blueberries going out of season, can this be made using frozen blueberries and peaches?

      Hi Sara. We're so glad you enjoyed the quinoa breakfast bowl. Yes, you can use frozen blueberries and peaches. Just be sure to thaw beforehand. It may make the bowl a little "soupy" or wet, but if you thaw in a strainer (especially the blueberries), it should still taste amazing. Let us know if you try and how it turns out.
