Quinoa Is A Great Gluten-Free Breakfast Grain Alternative

Quinoa has a reputation for being bitter but a few quick rinses under cold water will get rid of that and before you know it this will be a breakfast go to.

This high protein breakfast bowl makes a nice alternative to traditional oatmeal for breakfast.

Quinoa Health Benefits:

  • High in protein 
  • High in fiber
  • Gluten-free 
  • Contains antioxidants
  • Is a complete protein; contains all nine essential amino acids
  • High in Iron 

Is Quinoa Better For You Than Oatmeal?

Nutritionally speaking, if we compare 1 cooked cup of each: 

  • Oatmeal 3.5 ounces (100 grams) has 2.5g of fat; 25g of carbs, 3.7g of fiber and 5g of protein. 
  • Quinoa 1 cup (185 grams) has 1.9g of fat; 21g of carbs, 2.8g of fiber and 4.4g of protein

Quinoa is more nutritionally dense but oatmeal still makes a healthy breakfast choice.

Toppings For Quinoa Breakfast Bowl:

Making the quinoa is pretty simple and straight forward. The fun part is the flavor combinations you can come up with for this high protein vegan breakfast.

  • Yogurt
  • Apples
  • Pistachios
  • Homemade Granola  
  • A drizzle of maple syrup
  • A sprig of Mint
  • Maple Syrup
  • Berries
  • Nut Butter’s

How To Cook Quinoa In The Instant Pot?
