- ½ cup blueberries

- 1/4 cup granola (try this lavender blueberry granola recipe here)
- 2 tablespoons shredded, unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- Stir together acai puree, cooked quinoa, maple syrup (optional) and chia seeds in a small bowl. Divide among two small individual bowls (about 1 1/2 cups capacity).
- Top each bowl with ¼ cup each blueberries, 1/4 cup blackberries, 2 tablespoons granola, and 1 tablespoon coconut.
- Serve immediately. Makes two small servings (about 1 1/4 cups each). Alternatively, you can serve this in one large serving in a larger bowl (about 2 1/2 cups).
Notes
To cook quinoa, combine 1 cup uncooked quinoa + 2 cups water in a pot, cover, and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until tender. Drain any leftover water, and cool. (This makes more quinoa than called for in this recipe).
This makes two small servings (about 1 1/4 cups each); alternatively you can serve this as one large bowl (about 2 1/2 cups each).
