Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • fresh berries, chopped nuts, or nut butter for topping

Method
 

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine the quinoa, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir until the quinoa is fully submerged.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until the quinoa has absorbed the liquid and become thick and creamy.
  3. Top with berries, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter, and serve cold right from the jar.

Notes

The quinoa needs at least 8 hours to soften, so make it the night before. You can meal-prep 4 jars at once; they keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir in your toppings just before eating for the best texture.
