Chocolate, Orange and Pistachio Breakfast Quinoa

Who says you can't have chocolate for breakfast? Packed with protein and hearty carbohydrates, this decadent chocolate bowl will keep your belly (and your sweet tooth) satisfied for hours. This recipe is also easily customizable to meet your macro needs. You can add a little more protein powder for a protein boost, omit the maple syrup if you’re watching carbs, or add flaxseed for a fiber boost.

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa flakes, milk, orange juice, water, protein powder, cacao powder, and salt. Stir to combine and cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and bubbly about 3-5 minutes.
2. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the orange zest. Transfer to a bowl and top with chocolate chips, yogurt, pistachios and maple syrup.
