Quinoa is an awesome grain to have for breakfast as it is loaded with protein. Protein will keep you full, energised and satisfied throughout the day. The coconut milk gives the quinoa a nice creamy texture. If you are not a fan of coconut milk, then you can try almond, rice or oat milk.

You can topped this with raspberries, or any of your favourite fruit.
