Once we leave our apartment in the morning, we never know if we'll have time to stop for lunch. When out the door the city is moving at a hundred miles an hour, so we like to take a few minutes to ourselves in the morning to scroll through social media, watch some CNN, and eat a healthy and delicious breakfast. To start off our health and fitness series, we wanted to share what helps to fuel us as we trek around the city from meeting to meeting.
When thinking breakfast, you probably don't think cooked quinoa - AKA the 'super grain!' Not surprisingly, quinoa is high in protein and is gluten free... not to mention keeps you feeling full longer than those fatty bagels! This brings us to one of our all time favorite breakfasts: our self proclaimed, Quinoa Power Bowl! Putting it together is quick, easy, and there is no right or wrong way of doing it. We love changing up the types of berries and flavor of yogurt, but this one is made with a mix of fresh berries, greek yogurt, almonds, and a few other powerful ingredients. If this breakfast combo doesn't get you excited to get out of bed, we don't know what will! If you like what you see here, just follow the short list of ingredients that we used below and enjoy!
