Ingredients
  

For the Quinoa:
  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 4 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 3-4 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk for a creamy finish, mixed in after cooking
  • Sprinkles for decoration

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing Spoon
  • Bowl

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Begin by rinsing the uncooked quinoa under cold water. This removes any bitterness and ensures a clean taste. Drain well.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and the 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Add 2 tablespoons of the zero-calorie sweetener to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Once the quinoa is cooked, remove it from heat. Stir in the vanilla protein powder and the remaining almond milk to achieve your desired creaminess. Adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener if desired.
  5. Gently fold in a generous amount of sprinkles to the quinoa for that funfetti touch. This is where the magic happens!
  6. Spoon your Funfetti Breakfast Quinoa into bowls, add a splash of almond milk if you like, and top with more sprinkles for a festive finish. Enjoy your colorful breakfast!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Add fresh fruit or nuts for extra texture and nutrients.
  • For a lower-calorie version, use less sweetener or a natural sweetener like stevia.
