Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 ¼ cups dried fruit such as dried apricots or raisins
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt to taste
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup fresh berries e.g., blueberries or strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey optional, for extra sweetness

Instructions

  • Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set it aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, dried fruit (such as apricots or raisins), chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Add the cooked quinoa to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine. The quinoa will add heartiness and a slight nutty flavor to the dish.
  • Pour the full-fat coconut milk over the mixture and stir until all ingredients are coated evenly. This will add a creamy texture to the dish.
  • Fold in the fresh berries, such as blueberries or strawberries. They add a burst of fresh sweetness to balance the rich flavors.
  • For a touch of extra sweetness, drizzle 1 tablespoon of raw honey over the mixture (optional). Stir well to blend the sweetness throughout the bowl.
  • Add a pinch of salt to taste, which enhances the overall flavor profile by balancing the sweetness.
  • Divide the Quinoa Bliss Bowl into individual serving bowls and garnish with extra fresh berries or a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired.
