Cook Quinoa: Start by cooking the quinoa if you haven’t already.

You can also use leftover quinoa. CLICK HERE for video instructions for cooking quinoa the right way.

Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, place the cooked quinoa as the base. Mix mashed banana, cinnamon, chia seeds and almond milk with quinoa until well combined. Arrange the rest of the ingredients in the bowl to your liking. If you want to eat the bowl warm, add everything to a saucepan and heat to your liking.
