Everyone Needs Chocolate for Breakfast

Yesterday morning I just decided to try something different for breakfast. My typical breakfast is my delicious chocolate Shakeology blended with homemade peanut butter and a frozen banana....I love it! And if it's not that it's usually a green smoothie. I very seldom have anything other than these two things.

But out of my adventurous-ness came this super quick and easy breakfast bowl.

Chocolate Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

• 1 cup milk (any kind works, but I prefer some kind of milk over water for that creaminess)
• 1/2 quinoa, rinsed
• 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (blend of 70+ whole food & superfoods)

Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Add milk, quinoa, and chocolate Shakeology to a pot. Stir to mix in the Shakeology. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn down the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes.

I added some milk over my chocolate quinoa and ate it just like that. My mother-in-law and 2 of my brothers-in-law had theirs with milk and a little sweetener. So there are so many options to serve it! I thought it would be good to maybe mix in some homemade peanut or almond butter with sliced bananas.

But this was a huge hit! We all loved it! My husband was jealous that he didn't get to try any because he had to leave to work before it was done. This is probably going to become a breakfast staple, especially now that fall is setting in.

I had about 1/2 a cup and I was full all morning long! I love the fact that I was getting such an amazing dose of protein with the quinoa and the Shakeology....it was the perfect combo!

I hope you enjoy!!! :)
