Kickstart your morning with this Heavenly Tropical Breakfast Quinoa! A lush combination of coconut milk, sweet pineapple, and quinoa topped with a burst of fresh strawberries and a drizzle of balsamic, perfect for a nutritious start.
Ingredients:
Step 1: Combine & Cook
Begin your tropical morning adventure by combining the fluffy cooked quinoa, silky coconut milk, sweet crushed pineapple, a hint of cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup in a medium-sized pot. Stirring this mixture, let it come to a gentle boil then lower the heat, allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes. This simmering allows the flavors to marry beautifully, creating a creamy, rich base for your tropical breakfast.
Pro Tip: Gently warm the coconut milk before adding for a smoother mixture.
Step 2: Garnish & Serve
Once your quinoa mixture has thickened to your liking, it's time to turn this hearty base into a tropical feast. Lavishly top the quinoa with a golden layer of toasted coconut flakes, adding crunch and nuttiness. Follow this with a generous sprinkle of chopped pecans for further texture. Finishing with the sliced strawberries adds a fresh, sweet contrast that pairs wonderfully with the base. A final drizzle of balsamic vinegar introduces a tangy depth, balancing the overall sweetness and transporting your taste buds to a tropical paradise.
Pro Tip: Toast the coconut flakes and pecans slightly for an extra burst of flavor.
