This beautiful breakfast bowl, featuring quinoa in place of oats, is the extra protein punch you need to feel energized in the morning. We like crunchy, antioxidant-rich pomegranate seeds as a garnish for this hearty bowl, but you can also use a few raspberries or blackberries for color and flavor. This recipe is designed to serve one, but you can easily scale it up to either have a batch to store so you can have it throughout the week or if you're making it for a brunch crowd.
