Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

1 medium banana, sliced

2 tablespoons almond butter or peanut butter

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

A handful of nuts (almonds or walnuts) for topping

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Start by cooking the quinoa according to the package instructions. Typically, you will need 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Allow to cool slightly.

    In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. This combination adds a nice texture and boosts the protein content.

      Once the quinoa has cooled, begin assembling your breakfast bowl. Place a generous serving of quinoa at the bottom of each bowl.

        Add dollops of the yogurt and cottage cheese mixture on top of the quinoa.

          Layer your fresh berries and banana slices beautifully over the yogurt mixture.

            Drizzle almond or peanut butter over the top for additional creaminess and flavor.

              Sprinkle chia seeds and cinnamon evenly across the bowls. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired.

                Finish by adding a handful of nuts for a crunchy texture and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like.

                  Serve immediately and enjoy your energizing high protein breakfast!
