Looking to improve your hot cereal game but don’t love the sugary, store-bought options? This gluten-free, protein-rich quinoa bowl hits the sweet ‘n savoury middle ground. Made with nooch-packed Broth Mixes, this bowl gives you a bump of B vitamins. All the sweetness comes from honey and juicy summer peaches, not added sugar. For the record, the molasses layers in a bittersweet flavour that goes well with the peaches and provides a little iron.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups prepared Nourish Broth or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp Nourish Broth Mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp Vegetable Broth Mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 4 peaches
  • 2 cups milk, your choice
  • 3⁄4 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
  • 2 tsp honey or blackstrap molasses

Preparation

  2. Meanwhile, slice peaches.
  3. Divide cooked quinoa between bowls. Add milk to each bowl. Top each bowl with peaches and pumpkin seeds, and drizzle each bowl with honey or molasses.

Tips

Customize your bowls! Swap in your favourite fruits—such as bananas, apples, berries, and even dried fruit—and nuts or seeds such as chia seeds, hemp hearts, and flaxseeds.

Preparing quinoa ahead of time makes assembly in the morning as easy as pouring a bowl of boxed cereal (the quinoa can served be cold).
