Instructions

1. 1
   Mise En Place

   Gather quinoa, chia seed, Greek yogurt, berry, honey, salt, and water, then set out a sieve, saucepan, bowl, spoon, cup, and serving bowls. · 5 min

   What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Rinse Quinoa

   Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve under cool water until the runoff looks clear, then shake well so the grains do not steam in excess water. · 2 min

   What to look for: The draining water looks mostly clear and the quinoa is evenly moistened.

3. 3
   Cook Quinoa

   Boil 240 ml water with salt in a saucepan, stir in quinoa, cover, lower heat, and simmer until the grains look open and the water is absorbed. · 15 min

   What to look for: Tiny spirals show on the quinoa and no free water remains in the pan.

4. 4
   Mix Chia Yogurt

   Stir Greek yogurt, chia seed, and honey in a bowl until evenly speckled, then let the mixture thicken while the quinoa rests. · 10 min

   What to look for: The yogurt looks evenly dotted with chia and becomes slightly thicker.

5. 5
   Rest Quinoa

   Rest the covered quinoa off the heat for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and spread it in a bowl until warm rather than hot. · 5 min

   What to look for: The quinoa is fluffy, separate, and no longer steaming heavily.

6. 6
   Assemble Bowls

   Divide warm quinoa between 2 bowls and spoon the chia yogurt over the top, keeping the layers loose so every spoonful has grain and cream. · 3 min

   What to look for: Each bowl has a base of quinoa with a creamy chia yogurt layer on top.

7. 7
   Serve Fresh

   Serve immediately with berries scattered over each bowl, or chill 15 minutes if you prefer a firmer, pudding like breakfast. · 1 min

   What to look for: The berries sit brightly on the creamy surface and the bowl is ready to eat.
