Ingredients
Scale
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons hemp seeds, divided
1/2 cup chopped whole almonds, raw, unsalted, divided
1/2 cup fresh blueberries, divided

Instructions
Cook the Quinoa
Put 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Once it boils, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook the quinoa for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it's cooked through and the liquid has been completely absorbed.
Turn off the heat. Leave it covered for five more minutes.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a container with a lid and place it in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours. This step will create fluffy quinoa. Feel free to do this step the day before.
Build the Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Place the cold quinoa into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mix to combine ingredients.
Divide the seasoned quinoa into 2 serving bowls.
Add 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds to each bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of chopped almonds to each bowl.
Top with fresh blueberries.
Add 1/2 cup of almond milk to each bowl ( or to the desired amount)
