This was a delicious and healthy breakfast. I made it with almond milk and it was still creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

Great recipe! I used frozen blueberries and it turned out just as good. The quinoa was cooked perfectly and the blueberries were plump and juicy. I added a little extra honey for sweetness and it was perfect. Will definitely make this again.
