Ingredients

1/2 cup dry (360g cooked) Quinoa — A seed with all nine essential amino acids, which is rare enough in a plant food to be worth a breakfast.
3/4 cup (200ml) Milk — Warmed through with the quinoa until it turns creamy.
1 banana, sliced (100g) Banana — Sweetness and potassium, and it needs no cooking.
a small handful (25g) Almonds — Vitamin E, magnesium, and the crunch the bowl is otherwise missing.
1 tsp Honey — Optional, and worth tasting before you add it.
