Notes
Experiment with different toppings each day to keep things exciting. Make a big batch of plain quinoa and customize it throughout the week. For a richer flavor, use homemade almond milk. If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat with a splash of almond milk or enjoy cold as a pudding-like treat. Freezing individual portions in freezer-safe containers is also an option for longer storage, keeping for up to a month.
