Nutritious Quinoa Protein Bowl Recipe

Sometimes you just want a warm bowl of goodness in the morning. This Quinoa Protein Bowl hits the bullseye of that craving. Quinoa gives it some stick-to-your-ribs heartiness and our FlavCity Vanilla Cream Protein Smoothie amps up the nutrition and satiation. Other ingredients, like nut butter, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla, add creaminess, warmth and depth of flavor. And a good dollop of yogurt and chopped nuts add the finishing touches for texture and a boost of protein! This recipe is great anytime of year, but especially in the colder months.
