Notes
Feel free to swap quinoa for millet or buckwheat for a different grain experience.
Use seasonal fruits like berries or pears instead of apples for a fresh twist.
To enhance flavor, consider toasting the quinoa briefly before cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat with a splash of almond milk to restore moisture.
Experiment with spices like cardamom for a unique flavor profile and always use ripe fruits for natural sweetness. Less is more; don't overload your bowl with toppings to maintain flavor harmony.
