Strawberry quinoa breakfast bowl
Mornings are always rushed in my house as I try to get everyone dressed, lunches and bags packed and off to where they need to go on time whilst organising myself for a day in my clinic. It would be easy to grab a slice of toast on the run which is pretty much what I used to do. But wait – breakfast is the most important meal of the day right? Fortunately I now have a stock of delicious breakfast recipes which, with a little bit of organisation the night before, require virtually no prep. Best of all this strawberry and quinoa breakfast bowl provides me and my girls with all the nutrients we need for the morning ahead
