Method

01Warm the cooked quinoa with almond milk and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring. The quinoa should absorb the milk and become creamy — like a porridge.
02Divide the warmed quinoa between two bowls in equal portions.
03Top with the berries, add a spoonful of almond butter, sprinkle with seeds and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately while the quinoa is still warm.

Why this works

Quinoa is a complete plant protein with magnesium, supporting both restful sleep and muscle maintenance. Berries provide antioxidants that may support healthy insulin sensitivity.
