CHOCOLATE Quinoa Bowl

I believe in chocolate for breakfast. I mean seriously, why NOT start the day with chocolate???!!!

I've been playing with new breakfast options a lot lately. Although I still love overnight oats and egg casserole, wouldn't it be AWESOME to pack even MORE nutrition into your first meal and it still taste like heaven? Yeah, that's the mindset where this recipe originated.


Quinoa + coconut milk + cacao nibs + toasted coconut flakes... drooling!

,OH, and don't judge it until you try it!! My super picky, junk food obsessed brother LOVED it which means this recipes is definitely a keeper!


There's now no reason to not start your morning with protein, healthy fats, a powerful punch of antioxidants, and a whole lot of flavor!
