Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
  • 2 cups vanilla almond milk
  • 2 cups vanilla almond milk (for blending)
  • 4 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla almond milk (for honey glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla almond milk (for honey glaze)
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Lid
  • Fork
  • Blender
  • Small Bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine with 2 cups vanilla almond milk in a large pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes; fluff with a fork and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Place 2 cups vanilla almond milk and the frozen blueberries in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the honey with 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla almond milk until it reaches a glaze-like consistency.
  5. Divide the cooled quinoa among bowls, pour or spoon the blueberry smoothie over the quinoa, then drizzle each bowl with the honey glaze.
  6. Top each bowl with toasted sliced almonds and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Rinse quinoa to remove any bitterness before cooking.
  • Allow quinoa to cool slightly so it doesn't melt the smoothie.
  • Adjust honey to taste for sweetness.
  • Use fresh blueberries if preferred, but add a few ice cubes when blending.
