Choc Banana Quinoa Bowl
This is a recipe I make when I'm craving something sweet and comforting in the morning. The red quinoa has a lovely nutty flavour and textural quality while the banana naturally sweetens this breakfast bowl. This is a great way to use up any leftover quinoa you have in the fridge and the chocolatey flavours may even appeal to the kids! - Emily Williamson
