Mango Kiwi Breakfast Quinoa

This mango kiwi breakfast quinoa is a healthy and fun way to change up breakfast.

Eating quinoa for breakfast is a little weird, right?

You probably think of it as a side to a piece of chicken, not really something in your breakfast bowl.

Well getting some legit head shots taken blow the quinoa for breakfast weirdness thing out of the water.

I have a new found respect for actors and models.

Not to the level where I can justify their millions or anything but woah, that whole smile but make it look natural and not like you’re totally awkward because you did your hair, put on way more makeup than normal and are now prancing around your friend’s backyard climbing downed tree limbs in three different outfits thing is not as easy as it looks.

Maybe they skip the prancing part though and that’s what makes it easier.

Or maybe getting a paycheck to do it helps too.

I could probably do a lot of things if a million dollar paycheck was at the end.

Breakfast quinoa

A lot, not all.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Breakfast quinoa with mangos and kiwis

So throw some fruit in your quinoa, pour some milk over top and get over the weird.

Breakfast quinoa with mango and kiwi is different but it’s delicious and it doesn’t require any awkward poses.

Wow! Never had quinoa for breakfast before but damn this was good! I didn't have kiwi so I substituted blueberries and a bit ashamed to say I drizzled a slight bit of honey over it but regardless, it was delish! I'm a new fan of your blog!

I love the new sidebar picture!! Gorge. I do, however, totally get what you mean. I had a photoshoot last spring for PT and my blog, and felt SO awkward the entire time! Especially for the sports bra pictures. Anyway, this breakfast quinoa sounds delish! I haven't had quinoa for breakfast in quite a while.
